  6. CMC Types • Computer-Mediated Communications (CMC): communication types where a computer is mainly involved, including e-mail, forums,and chats. • Asynchronous: communicate without being connected at the same time as the person being contacted, e.g. e-mail and forums. • Synchronous: both parties must be connected at the same time, e.g. telephones, text chat, and video-conferencing.

  7. E-mail Modes • Offline: can read and write messages without connecting. Uses an offline reader (mail client), e.g. Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Messenger. • Online: any activity will require connectivity. Uses a web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator) to access services such as Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.

  8. Forums versus Synchronous Discussions • Participate even if actual meeting is difficult. • Scattered groups can maintain contact. • Liberates the housebound and disabled • Disabilities are not visible. • No problems in getting your turn to speak. • The written conversations help you catch up.

  9. Disadvantages of Forums • Large delay between sending a message and receiving a reply. • Forum discussions are very much slower than synchronous ones. • Messages are text-based, so tone of voice and body language are missing • This sometimes leads to emotional outbursts, called 'flaming', which would not be tolerated so easily in face-to-face discussions. • You must have a computer to participate.
