Abstract

Computer‐mediated communication (CMC) is being used increasingly in education, often as a means to provide discussion forums for university classes. The growth of the use of CMC provides an opportunity to study its impact in instructional communication. Content analysis can provide answers about the types of messaging content and the longitudinal evolution of specialized codes in instructional CMC. The Uses and Gratifications approach can provide a perspective to ask questions about user motivations in instructional contexts, as well as the perceived consequences of CMC use in instructional contexts.

  • Traditional models of U&G may still provide a useful framework from which to begin to study Internet and new media communication.

    “Other mass media scholars, however, suggested that traditional models of U&G maystill provide a useful framework from which to begin to study Internet and new media communication (December, 1996; Kuehn, 1994; Morris & Ogan, 1996).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
