TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION

There has been a great deal of research in the area of computer-mediated
communication over the last decade. The majority of published research focuses
on the ways in which such communication can enhance learning and provide new
and improved forms of communication

It is often assumed that Information and Communication Technologies can offer
new and improved means of inter-personal communication. Currently, there is also
great enthusiasm for the possible application of these new technologies in Higher
Education. However, the possible impacts of technology on students' interaction
must be addressed. This paper reports on critical evaluations of on-line discussion
forums, and provides a detailed analysis of students' on-line communication. It is
demonstrated that there are limits to the efficacy of current technologies in
supporting collaborative and communicative models of learning.
Recommendations are given as to the role of on-line discussion forums in our
teaching and learning, and it is suggested that we must be aware of the limitations
of technology-mediated discussions.
