For a long time, dialogue analysis has separated spoken language from written language. This dichotomy is valid in many cases as it is mostly parallel to the distinction of synchronous and asynchronous communication with the associated affinity to graphic and acoustic media, respectively. During the present decade, many forms of computer mediated communication (CMC) have become widespread. With...

This article examines the communication of text-based synchronous online discussion (chat) participants during the process of information sharing. It addresses the communicational constraints imposed by the computer-mediated communication (CMC) channel on participants’ expression of interpersonal and affective stances, analyzes the mechanisms participants employed to overcome these constraints,...

Much research within the field of MIS has been devoted to the use of collaborative technology by decision makers and the impact computer-mediated communication (CMC) has on collaborative work. Yet, there may be some unintended consequences for users of CMC, if someone involved in the joint effort decides to take the opportunity to deceive the others involved. In this chapter, we posit that CMC ...

Author: Maria Victoria Ramos Title: An Analysis of Remote Communication Processes Involved in VideoMediated and Text-Based Computer-Mediated Communication During Collaborative Problem Solving Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Science in Human Factors & Systems The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of current available communication mediums on the ...

The Community of Inquiry (COI) theoretical framework suggests that successful higher education experiences are supported by the presence and interaction of cognitive, social and teaching elements. Since the COI model has been widely used for examining quality of asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) educational interactions, its applicability to synchronous CMC interactions is rela...

Wei-Chen Lin, National Tsing Hua University Hung-Tzu Huang, National Tsing Hua University Hsien-Chin Liou, Feng Chia University As various means of computer mediated communication (CMC) have been incorporated within language classrooms over the past two decades, it has become important to critically understand whether, to which extent, and under what contextual factors, a particular type of CMC...

_______________ While many researchers have studied the application of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in peer review activities in L2 composition classes, few have directly compared the effect of asynchronous CMC (ACMC) versus written comments. This paper describes a small-scale project carried out in an ESL composition class to reexamine the effects and affects of asynchronous CMC in L2...

Communication structure is a way of improving the effectiveness of group communications by imposing rules or procedures of communications. Delphi is a communication structure which has been widely used to collect ideas and opinions from temporarily and geographically dispersed experts. A new approach in Delphi implementation using asynchronous Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) is developed....

Aim/Purpose: This study seeks to uncover the perceived quality factors of computer-mediated communication in business planning which among teammates is crucial for collaboration. Background: Computer-mediated has made communicating with easier and more affordable than ever. What motivates people use a particular CMC technology during major concern this research. Methodology: address issues by a...

Self-disclosure taking place in computer-mediated communication (CMC) is generally associated with enhanced well-being because it evokes a greater sense of connectedness. It has been established that the magnitude benefits reaped from online self-disclosure conditional on social anxiety (under lens poor-get-richer vs. rich-get-richer hypotheses) or audience size. What remains to be understood w...
