Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Communication.
The study is a quantitative analysis of computer-mediated communication’s (CMC) impact on variable such as student communication satisfaction and student’s perception’s of teacher immediacy. An exploration of a student’s preference toward face-to-face communication(FTF) vs. CMC regarding their out-of-class communication (OCC) with an instructor. A survey was created to measure the variables. An analysis was performed using Pearson r Correlation tests between amounts of perceived CMC and student communication satisfaction and teacher immediacy. A correlation matrix was constructed to explore presence regarding OCC. Results indicated that CMC had no impact on student communication satisfaction and higher amounts of FTF communication had a slight positive impact on student’s perceived teacher immediacy. The study provides a groundwork for future research on the impact of CMC in a college context.
