One of most common uses of the Internet is electronic communication through e-mail and electronic conferencing.
Numerous techniques exist for communicating with others for personal, social, and academic reasons.
And, there are special ways of communicating on the Internet. During this part of the course, we will examine various communication technologies like e-mail, usenet, listservs, IRC, MOOS, as well as issues of netiquette and how to get what you want. To this point of the semester, you have learned about various ways to communicate with others on the internet, including e-mail and listservs, usenet, IRC, and MOOs. During this section I would like you to analyze one of the virtual communities based on one of these forms of on-line communication. You may choose an IRC channel, a listserv, a usenet group, a moo, or a number of our InterChange sessions.
