Abstract
This study presents data to support the cognitive benefits and the community-building capacity of using an electronic mailing list in an undergraduate college course. Seventeen undergraduate electronic mailing list users were surveyed, and data were analyzed using a Rasch analysis. A qualitative analysis was also conducted to help us further understand the themes that emerged.
