Online discourse environment
- Online discourse environment
Online discourse environments are online spaces where people interact with one another by some means of discourse. This can include asynchronous discussion boards, synchronous chat, multi-user online games, or any other computer-mediated communication tool. These environments are primarily text-based, but may contain multi-media elements such as images, animation, or emoticons. Research on online discourse often takes a social-cultural or linguistic view, where learning occurs through participation in computer-mediated communication (CMC).
Examples include IRC, MSN Messenger, ICQ.
