Qualitative analysis of the SCMD activity system found rules of tool use, institutional rules and the instructor's pedagogical practice, and patterned rhetorical practices of opening, topical discussion, and closing. Four key roles emerged: "instructor, technological leader, socio-emotional facilitator, topical initiator and follower, and experts in different domains of knowledge."
"This study could identify three categories of rules in the activity system. Those were related to the tool use, institutional context, and rhetorical situation of topical discussion."
