Subject: Uses of CMC in Humanities Higher Education
My name is Simon Rae, I am working at the Open University based in
Milton Keynes, UK. Although employed full-time in Academic Computing
Services, I am also working on a small research project, funded by
the OU's Institute of Educational Technology, reviewing the "Uses of CMC
(Computer Mediated Communication) by Teachers and their Students in Humanities
Higher Education".
A large part of this research will involve gathering examples of and
references to such uses before I can begin to categorise, analyse and,
hopefully, evaluate them.
Please, if anyone has knowledge of any such uses would they send me a brief
note about it ... just enough to contact the people involved or to look up any
printed report.
Rather than burden the HUMANIST list please send direct to:
s.a.rae@open.ac.uk
At this stage in my research I am not limiting myself by defining either the
humanities or CMC too narrowly - that phase of my work will come later. The
disciplines covered by The Humanities Computing Yearbook and computing
facilities/techniques like Conferencing, Email, IRC, LISTSERV lists, MUDs,
MOOs, Usenet Netnews and the WWW will be my starting point. I will be producing
a report of my research which I intend to make available via the Internet.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Simon
