An Instructional Paradigm for the Teaching of Computer-mediated Communication


My thoughts. From all of the readings reading this article as a whole, it is an interesting concept of research, the abstract alone is quite unique. We all feel intimidated joining into something that is mysterious. However risk taking also exists in our extended vocabulary so we must be accomplishing something.  Thus, taking note of our ventures if we can live to tell about it.  Howard stated: “Knowing how to communicate well online is important and should be taught, so it should be included in course objectives where appropriate.” However students are teaching each other faster forms of communication, before we can define what they are doing wrong in SNS as well as CMC arena. Teaching reading skills is an interesting concept, I think educators need some insights on how kids are teaching themselves these fast tracked communication trends.


What about: How could sarcasm or puns be interpreted in CMC in this same study?
