Characteristics of Students Related to Computer-Mediated Communications Activity.
Fishman, Barry J.
Journal of Research on Computing in Education, v32 n1 p73-97 Fall 1999
Describes a study of individual differences among high school students that relate to and predict their use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools--e-mail, Usenet news, and a multimedia notebook--to support project-based science learning. Findings indicate that skill and experience with computers, parental education, access to computers, and academic self-concept are all reliable predictors of student CMC activity. Contains 66 references. (AEF)
