Many educators have attempted to implement a blog in educational contexts to enhance the communication environment among students and teachers. However, it is uncertain as to why traditional computer-mediated communication (CMC) applications should be replaced with blogs. It is time to comprehensively explore the effects of educational blogs by considering the CMC tools. This paper reviews prio...

This study examines how computer-mediated communication (CMC) systems, e-mail, bulletin board, real time discussion and listserv, enhance and inhibit on-line interaction from four theoretical constructs and four different types of interaction. A comprehensive search of the ERIC database was conducted and the relevant studies were referenced for the discussion. Analysis reveals that CMC systems ...

The potential of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) to enable new forms of social interaction and foster democratisation of decision making has raised much interest but has been challenged by contradictory research results. Conceived as a tool, CMC was examined in terms of its social effects thus indicating a degree of technological determinism. In this paper, we explore CMC as an extension ...

Recent trends and rapid improvement in technology such as computer-mediated communication (CMC) and increasing bandwidth in the Internet are facilitating increased electronic interactions (i.e., e-interactions otherwise known as or commonly referred to as the human computer interaction (HCI)). CMC technology systems are a common occurrence in educational institutions as administrators attempt t...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) in education has both benefits and problems. The benefits could be increased and the problems alleviated by improved design of CMC systems. Following a user-centred design approach, interviews were therefore carried out with distance learners who use CMC systems. The aim was to elicit ideas for improvements, and to discover which features students find help...

In this introduction to the fifth volume of journal Human-Machine Communication, we present and discuss five articles focusing on gender human-machine communication. essay, will analyze theme gender, including how notion has historically politically been set up, for what reasons. We start by considering in in-person communication, then progress consider happens when it is mediated most importan...

Although there are many studies which have observed the overall impacts of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) or Information Systems, and many empirical studies which analysed specific impacts partially, there are few studies which have focused on the overall relationship between CMC management and job satisfaction. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the overall CMC impact framework: CMC ...

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...

This essay advocates for a significant reorientation and reconceptualization of communication studies in order to accommodate the opportunities and challenges introduced by increasingly intelligent machines, autonomous decision making systems, and smart devices. Historically the discipline of communication has accommodated new technology by transforming these innovations into a medium of human ...

The focus of education has shifted towards working actively, constructively and collaboratively, as this is believed to enhance learning. The studies discussed here deals with the influence of different CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) tools on argumentation processes during collaboration. The purpose of our research is to investigate the effect of computer supported environments and its t...
