Computer Mediated
Communication
The successful use of computer-mediated
communications in instruction depends on many
factors. Some of them are technological, of
course: the software and hardware must work
well, students must have access to the right
technologies, and so forth. However, the most
important factors are human and social. Students
must be prepared to use the facilities; often
there must be a skilled moderator to guide a
group in the right directions: the tasks that
students must accomplish must be meaningful and
appropriate to the medium.
