Comm 321 Communication in the Electronic Age

Examines influence of computer mediated communication over attitudes, values, beliefs, and behavior. Through a demonstrated and applied awareness, understanding, and comprehension of the online communication processes, we introduce the social and identity perspective, and relationship implications. Theories are considered through readings, discussions and assignments that examine the nature and impact of topics from social interactions, web-based instruction to impression management. Ethics, identity, accessibility, relationships, and global implications are explored.
