The study guide tells that for Topic 1 for this week we need to familiarise ourselves with the different forms of online communication that we are going to need for this unit.
The two main points highlighted in topic 1 are:
a) What are the characteristics (in terms of the kinds of communication they allow) of the following?:
b) How do you use them if you do; what for; what’s your experience of using them?
Email and email lists
Usenet and Bulletin board systems
IRL’s chat rooms, messenger services
MUDs + MOOs – merging with online gaming
Websites
Intend to start reading today on the subject and respond to the questions as soon as I've finished reading/researching/thinking about it.
