COM 378 Computer-mediated Communication (3)

Possibly the most important technological innovation of the latter half of the 20th century, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is revolutionizing interaction in the global village. This course focuses on the various ways in which computers and computer networks can be used as a medium for human interaction and the new genres of communication that are created when this happens. We spend some time at the beginning of the course considering the nature of this relatively new medium; we also spend considerable time focusing on how computer-mediated communication is used in a number of particular contexts, namely interpersonal, organizational, and political contexts. The course is not devoted to issues in CMC design or production, particular software packages, or computer hardware. However, we devote some time to hands-on activities that introduce class members to some of what's involved in using the medium. We also spend a significant amount of time considering what kinds of new communication phenomena are created when people use CMC and the various ways that researchers are attempting to generate theory to account for these behaviors.
