Research Contexts for Mediation: CMC, CSCW, CSCL, Social Computing (18 March 2008)
The term "computer-mediated communication" (CMC) has fallen out of disfavor in recent years, in large part because it is too broad to be entirely meaningful. In its place, narrower contexts for understanding CMC have arisen--computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW), computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), and social computing (social interactions not tied to a specific organizational setting). Today we'll talk about these various contexts for studying computer mediated communication.
