Mark, I like Thurlow et al's text on CMC. It's very undergrad friendly - it assumes very little prior knowledge about CMC, has good coverage of a wide range of topics and has some nice exercises scattered throughout (though I don't think it covers wikis).

It's for a * class on Technology and Literacy. I plan on using my own recently * released _Laptops and Literacy_ to cover issues related to K-12 * education. I'd like to use one additional book that gives an * overview of CMC (email, text messaging, Web, bulletin boards, blogs, * wikis, etc.) suitable for undergraduate students at a research * university. * * Thanks, * Mark * -- * Mark Warschauer * Associate Professor of Education and Informatics * University of California, Irvine * 2001 Berkeley Place * Irvine, CA 92697-5500 * tel: (949) 824-2526, fax: (949) 824-2965 * markw@uci.edu; http://www.gse.uci.edu/faculty/markw * _______________________________________________ * The air-l@listserv.aoir.org mailing list * is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org * Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: * http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org * * Join the Association of Internet Researchers: * http://www.aoir.org/ *
