I mean, does it continue to exist when the tape is obscuring it? Obviously you can read this at the moment, because the newsagent is keeping the tape safe. (I’d go and ask for it if I were you - it’s got the Number One Game of All Time slumbering within.) However, once you put the tape on this small black box, is this writing transported to another dimension? It’s a fascinating philosophical conundrum.

  • The Virtual Community of an Online Classroom: Participant
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Terri L. Johanson for the degree of Doctor of Education in Education presented on January 24, 1996. Title: The Virtual Community of an Online Classroom: Participant Interactions in a Community College Writing Class Delivered by Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: rry' 3>/jc This qualitative study describes and interprets the interactions of participants in a community college writing class delivered by computer-mediated communication (CMC). The class represented a best practice model of learner-centered instruction in a CMC class. The description and the discussion are framed by five aspects of CMC instruction: (1) context; (2) technology; (3) communication; (4) learning; and (5) community. Offered via a computer bulletin board system (BBS), the class was an ongoing asynchronous electronic meeting. The participants actively accessed the class to interact and collaborate at all hours of the day and night and on almost every day of the term. The relational communication style adopted by the students reflected the formality, immediacy, and social presence of the instructor. Expressing the tone of friendly letters, most of the messages combined salutations, personal or social content, task-oriented content, closing comments and signatures. The mix of assignments and activities required students to act and interact individually, collaboratively and cooperatively. The students accepted the responsibility for interaction and initiated a majority of the messages. The instructor's

INTRODUCTION Present copyright law is being tested heavily in the rapidly growing area of cyberspace, the often hazy meeting place of computers and telephone lines. The proliferation of computer bulletin boards' (BBSes) and the ease with which files2 containing almost perfect copies of everything from text to pictures can be uploaded3 and downloaded4 has created tension between copyright owners and those who use and operate the world of electronic communications. 'A bulletin board (BBS) is a computer system that acts as an information and message center for users. Most bulletin boards have a central menu, which displays the options accessible by the users (e.g., e-mail, files, on-line games, conversation (chat) areas). Users access a BBS over a telephone line which is connected to the user's computer by modem.

  • Virtual Misbehavior: Breaking Rules of Conduct in Online Environments
    Proceedings of the Media Ecology Association, Volume 1, 2000 53 Virtual Misbehavior: Breaking Rules of Conduct in Online Environments Janet Sternberg 1 WELVE YEARS AGO, in the dead of winter, at the University of Oulu in Finland, a computer programmer named Jarkko Oikarinen created software for live, typed conversation among Tindividuals and groups on the Internet. He called his software “Internet Relay Chat,” ab- breviated as “IRC” (Oikarinen & Reed, 1993; see also Cheung, 1995; Reid, 1991; Surrat, 1996, pp. 27–29). Six years ago, in the dead of winter, at my apartment in Brooklyn, New York, I dis- covered Oikarinen’s creation and stumbled onto IRC for the first time. That fateful evening intro- duced me to life online in general, and in particular, to crime and punishment in virtual environ- ments. What I encountered on IRC eventually led to the research I’m conducting for my doctoral dis- sertation. I’m studying the aspect of life in cyberspace that intrigues me the most: misbehavior in online environments. It seems that wherever people gather on the Internet to interact with each other, some folks make, follow, and enforce the rules of civilized online behavior, while others break those rules and misbehave. In my research, I’m examining the types of misbehavior in which people engage, the rules of conduct people break, and the ways people deal with such misbehavior in a variety of online environments. In this paper, I describe the path that led me to develop this research topic. My interest in online misbehavior grew out of experiences I had on IRC.
