In its many forms-- face to face, telephone, among written texts, or in cyberspace-- conversation is a process of interpreting and understanding human experience. This conversational sense-making can be describe as a process of experiential learning, the roots of which go back to the works Dewey, Lewin, Piaget, James, Vygotsky and Freire... ”
