  Computer Conferencing
Thus, computer conferencing is a form of predominantly asynchronous computer-mediated communication (although this is changing) in which "a participant can reply to a message or contribute to a discussion at any later time or date and from any suitable location."
University of Sussex site nicely summarizes the variety of ways computer conferencing can facilitate communication: between expert to student, lecturer to student, lecturer to student group, student to student, lecturer to lecturer and lecturer to expert.
In some sense, computer conferencing has a very long way to go in achieving transparency." (1994, 54) However, he notes that when it is working transparently, it leads to a unparalleled concentration on the content of communication since it is not encumbered by "the physical presence and characteristics of the teacher and other students" (54).

This permissible time-lag in computer conferencing is particularly well suited to shy, thoughtful or hesitant conversationalists and to members of those cultures, (for instance, native American), where answers and responses are to be considered and carefully framed before presentation.
Computer conferencing software does not allow for the building of dynamic links on screen between the ideas and concepts that have been presented.

 Medium as Process: Computer Conferencing on "IBMPC"
Computer conferencing, with its high potential recipients and high potential for feedback, is orthogonal to this dimension, suggesting that it has characteristics of both but is different than either.
Computer media are found almost entirely in foreground (low bandwidth) and span the gap between four groups of media, extending from correspondence media in the lower left foreground and extending in a diagonal between publishing media and interactive telephone media up towards broadcast media in the upper right corner.
Computer conferencing is used in a variety of ways on IBMPC, and those applications are accompanied by generic patterns of interaction that optimize communication to given tasks in highly specific ways.

 Educational Applications of Computer Conferencing
Her research interests include educational applications of computer conferencing, design issues in teaching and learning on-line, and sex equity issues related to computers in education.
Computer conferencing systems can facilitate a group learning environment which can in large part simulate the educational community that occurs on-campus, without such access restric tions as geographic location, scheduling and availability of classes, travel time, and cost.
Computer conferencing software can permit, for example, forwarding, editing, filing, and copying of messages; searches by sender, date, topic, and text items; specialist roles for different conference participants; branching conferences; voting and polling; and direc tories of participants, conferences, and bulletin boards.

 Assessing Social Presence In Asynchronous Text-based Computer Conferencing
Instructional media such as computer conferencing engender high levels of student-student and student-teacher interaction; therefore, they can support models of teaching and learning that are highly interactive and consonant with the communicative ideals of university education.
This potential and the ubiquity of computer conferencing in higher education prompted three of the authors of the this article to develop a community of inquiry model that synthesizes pedagogical principles with the inherent instructional and access benefits of computer conferencing (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000).
Current applications of computer conferencing are mainly text-based and largely asynchronous; therefore, to extend these concepts to educational uses of CMC, these behaviors will need to be reconsidered in their textual and asynchronous forms.

 Computer Conferencing and Communication Theory
The broad accessibility of computers via telephone and computer networks combines with the asynchronous character of computer conferencing to allow geographically distributed individuals to participate in a computer conference as peers.
Studies of small computer conferencing can, moreover, reveal a great deal about the nature of the medium, at least some of which will be generalize to larger computer conferences.
It is possible, so long as we continue to study computer conferences of short duration, to treat the interaction as if it were programming (in the sense of television programming); to ignore its status as an interpersonal medium and restrict ourselves to the models and concerns of mass communication.

 Instructional Design in Computer Conferencing
A computer conference is intrinsically an environment for CL. It would seem strange indeed not to take advantage of this intrinsic feature of computer conferencing.
Computer conferencing's advantages go beyond the distance education need to liberate students from the constraints of time and space.
Computer conferencing can impose intellectual rigor: it can be THE premier environment for "writing through the curriculum" and one of the best ways to promote "active, student-centered learning." When used with CL, the conference leverages the teacher's efforts by engaging students to help each other learn.

 Genres of Computer Conferencing
Computer conferencing, by contrast to these and other media, entails a strong intermingling of interaction and information.
This strong intermingling, and the strongly contrasting genres of computer conferencing that it entails, are probably largely responsible for the typological middle ground that computer conferencing enjoyed in both the formal typology and the user assessment of media using that typology.
Just as it is possible, in computer mediated query, for a brief question to receive a small set of answers in a short period of time, so it is possible for such a question to receive a large number of answers, many of them related to prior answers, over an extended period of time.

 "Impacts of Computer Conferencing'.
Hiltz and Turoff (1978) and Johansen, Vallee, and Spangler (1979), the texts that introduced computer conferencing and computer mediated communication to the field of communication as important prospective objects of study, are both heavily oriented toward identifying the prospective effects of the medium on individuals, organizations, and societies.
The conclusion one reaches is that computer conferencing, at least in its current implementation on IBMPC, is similar to face to face meetings in some regards, but cannot be used as a substitute for many kinds of meetings, especially those in which participants will be expected to reach group decisions.
One concludes, then, that the experience of computer conferencing on IBMPC has been an extremely positive one, filled with a variety of benefits that cannot be anticipated except in the use of the medium.
