This paper examines the ways in which language is evolving in certain online courses within French higher education. In particular, it addresses usage of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and various linguistic issues associated with discussion and chat groups. WebCT, a commercially available virtual learning environment (VLE) is used as a basis of the study. Previous research (Panckhurst a...

Deception is an everyday occurrence across all communication media. The expansion of the Internet has significantly increased the amount of textual communication received and stored by individuals and organizations. Inundated with massive amounts of textual information transmitted through Computer-mediated Communication, CMC, people remain largely unsuccessful and inefficient in detecting those...

Interpersonal persuasion is definitionally distinguished from broadcast persuasion by the presence of anticipated personal feedback and message coherence. Distinguishing interpersonal from broadcast messages in computer-mediated communication (CMC) may be an important individual tactic for avoiding information overload and filtering spam; however, we found no existing measures suitable for asse...

Cohen, J. A. (1995). Computer mediated communication and publication productivity among faculty in Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) institutions (Doctoral dissertation, State University of New York at Buffalo, 1995). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether faculty who used Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) achieved greater scholarly productivity as measure...

Psychotherapy and psychosocial interventions rely mainly on verbal communication and language. With the expanding use of computers as well as the capacity of the Internet to bridge geographic distances and to increase access, computer mediated communication (CMC) plays an increasing role for the delivery of psychosocial interventions. This chapter focuses on the advantages and limitations of CM...

Computer mediated communication (CMC) systems are providing new ways to communicate. Yet many text-based CMC systems do not represent the invisible, interactive practices, such as turnnegotiation, commonly found in face-to-face (FTF) conversations. Designing new text structures may help address these problems. To explore the effects of adding rhythmic, non-verbal cues to computermediated commun...

In an Internet-enabled era, we are citizens in a vast array of different online spaces, and the behaviours afforded to these spaces becoming increasingly complex. Within study computer-mediated communication (CMC), there is assumption that behaviour occurring CMC equivalent depicted communicated message. However, note this not always case. The purpose paper elucidate typologies “online behaviou...

Few studies have explicitly focused on risky group decision making in information sharing or examined the manifestation of communication differences in face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated communication (CMC) teams. Hypothesizing that information-sharing behaviors could be influenced not only by contextual forces but also by personality and trust, we integrate communication mode, trust and ...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) once meant principally text-based communication mediated by computers, but rapid technological advances in recent years have heralded an era of multimodal communication with a growing emphasis on audio and video synchronous interaction. As CMC, in all its variants (text chats, video chats, forums, blogs, SMS, etc.), has become normalized practice in persona...
