Video conferencing is not only used in business situations but many prominent universities have also opted for this medium as an online learning tool to be utilized in association with other modes like online courses.
This type of CMC could require significantly a large amount of money as it involves equipping each station with the necessary computers and the peripherals that will enable an effective training session or communication between the tutor and the listeners in various parts.
The other CMC is the use of Skype. This is almost like the video conferencing but in this case the setting is much simpler than the video conferencing. All it needs is a computer with a webcam on it and a running internet. This is meant for a much smaller audience and much of a focused group located at two ends only as it is the camera on the computer that will be used for focusing on the participants and only the monitor is used for the display (Caitlyn Spencer,...
This is a common trend of late especially among the media houses that accept reports from agencies and freelance journalists.

" Shin (2006) Shin also states that the CMC literature "illustrates shifts of focus to different layers of context." Early on, research relating to CMC in language learning and teaching looked at the linguistic content of CMC text to examine how language learners could improve certain communication functions and learn linguistic figures through CMC activities (Blake, 2000; Chun, 1994; Kern, 1995; Ortega, 1997; Pellettieri, 2000; Smith 2000, Sotlillo, 2000; Toyoda
Theory of the self-monitored students and CSCL Another popular theory associated with the concept of CSCL is the self-monitored student s (Benbunan-Fich, 2002 ).

The general challenge in online education is the failure to embrace the paradigm that online programs are fundamentally different than traditional pedagogy, and must include alternative ways to link learning styles and learning outcomes. Failure to acknowledge the difference and to adjust delivery to meet the delivery medium runs the risk or providing ineffective instruction. The specific problem is that although there is a body of literature addressing online
An extremely important aspect to take into account in terms of the impact of IM on interpersonal relationships is the age-group of the user. As mentioned briefly above, the younger generation is more at home with this technology and therefore their interpersonal relationships are less adversely affected than older users, who have become used to a more offline mode of communication. In other words, the younger users will tend to
