Availability: ISSN: 1320-5692. [cited 25 Mar 10] All of the examples given in this article are based on the fundamental principle that group discussion can be initiated through the use of presenting lessons on the whiteboard. The IBW function of linking with other programs or digital equipment means that it is particularly useful in presenting students work and creating discussion around this. Kent argues that this type of teaching which he has named e-teaching can encourage high order thinking through reflection and group discussion.
