CMC

Computer-Mediated Communication and the Online Classroom in Distance Learning

(is the third volume of a three-book series)

CMC is a magazine that show us many technology advances in Education.

It is clear that electronics can help us to discover almost everything in education and learning, not only as a method, it could be a way a life. but it is necesary to pay attention how is the impact of t.v. into the learning atmosphere for example, beacause human beings learn through the television since it was created, and what are the things that we can learn on the tv.

thats why the article talks about the educational system which includes diferents types of technology (media). In this case the teachers must be eclectic and be concious of the student's knowledge construction.

"Distance educators are now beginning to focus on a related set of notions: (a) there are different learning styles, (b) students create their own meaning when learning new things, and (c) what makes a difference in content retention and transfer is not so much what is done by teachers, but what students as learners can be encouraged to do themselves. "

I think, the goal of MCM is merely to promote the interactive learning by technology.

the integration of students, teachers and content are the principals.

It also provides a vision of telecommunications as a main and helpful way to teach and learn.
