[Air-l] Gender and media preference

Dear list members, While examining differences between women and men participation in Web-based instruction, I found that women posted more than men. In face-to-face instruction, I found the opposite, well-documented observation: men talked much more than women. I wonder if someone here know of researches that dealt with women preference for written communication (as opposed to other communications, e.g., face-to-face conversation, video-conferencing etc.). Many thanks, Dr. Avner Caspi Open University of Israel
