Dear Technical Writers,
Last week I wrote --
~As a graduate student of technical and science communication, researching
computer-~mediated calibration, electronic communication, and interactive
communication, it would be ~interesting in knowing if the corporate world has
embraced the technology or is it still just ~theory?
Not surprisingly I received very few responses. From those that did respond
the same question was expressed - What is ?computer-mediated calibration??
Sorry about that mistake - it should have read computer-mediated
collaboration. However, for those that did figure it out I appreciate your
interest and will keep you informed of my findings. For those who are still
interested, but not familiar with computer-meditated communication - I
suggest that you visit the web site Project 2000. Project 2000 is a five
year research program on marketing in computer-mediated environments. It will
acquaint you with the terminology.
After visiting the site - please send me any comments that you have about
computer-mediated communication, especially in reference to computer-mediated
collaboration.
