Computer-mediated communication in higher education: educators’ agency in relation to technology

Authors

  • Lucy Resnyansky

Abstract

In this paper I focus on the notion of communication and develop the idea that it is important for the educator involved in computer-mediated teaching to reflect on how an information-cybernetic notion of communication can affect her/his professional identity, understanding of teaching and learning, and the students’ experience of social interaction. I outline some of the ways in which the information-cybernetic notion of communication is constructed as universal, natural and therefore invisible in a number of discursive practices that constitute the everyday environment of an educator in the information age.
