Abstract
In the first part of this chapter, the various kinds of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) that can be used in higher education teaching and learning are reviewed — including email, computer conferencing systems, MUDs & MOOs, the World Wide Web and CD-ROMs. These are then categorised in terms of their mode of delivery and the ‘connection of people’ involved in the communication. The second part of the chapter outlines some of the ways in which teachers and students will have to adapt their respective roles in the teaching-learning process to take account of the new CMC media. The chapter concludes with a summary of the benefits and limitations of CMC as applied in humanities higher education.
