How can negative aspects like the incoherence in the chat discourses at least be minimized?
35 Chemnitz University of Technology Communication on Technology Dr. Sonja Ruda
Questions for discussions include: Can the positive aspects be transferred to traditional teaching and if so, how?
How can negative aspects like the incoherence in the chat discourses at least be minimized?
Are lists of speakers, activity awareness, the explicit selection of recipients, the visualization of the chronological sequence and the explicit referencing of threads sufficient?
