Talk Later CMC or Computer-Mediated Communication enables the participant to conference with others using different formats. The purpose of communicating with one another is to share ideas and information, answer questions from both the facilitator and the participants, and encourage team chatting.
Participants communicate at a designated time determined by the person requesting the conference.
At Fermilab, we have chosen to use MS Chat as our chat tool for PC users and ChatNet as our chat tool for Macintosh users. Your specifc course may choose different tools. Consult your facilitator or course home page. Asynchronous communication is better for more than two participants, especially when you do not need an immediate response. Unlike synchronized communication, the participants can communicate at any time or place.
