Abstract :
Using application-oriented conceptual maps to categorize group discussions would be an advancement in the design of computer-mediated communications (CMC) systems to allow much larger groups to collaborate productively. The group meta-communication process should allow the group to modify and evolve these conceptual discourse templates.
