Computer Mediated Communication and the Online Classroom: Vol 1 An Overview and Perspective

This text, the first in a three-volume set, provides an overview and perspective on computer-mediated communication (CMC) in education. The three volumes in this set are conceived as "handbooks" for individual teachers to help them implement computer-mediated communication (CMC) in their classrooms. The authors avoid as far as possible discussing hardware or software specifics, concentrating instead on content, pedagogy, instructional design and the mechanics of using CMC. All three volumes are written by and for practitioners who have bought into the value of CMC and now want to know how they can use it in their educational setting.
