   I'm very interested in these topics.  In fact, I posed a very
similar question about a month ago on this list and received a few
responses; I'd be happy to summarize them on- or off-list if you'd
like.
   An interesting development in this area is the very recent
reconstitution of the NASPA Technology Knowledge Community (KC).  I am
hopeful that this very issue (student development and its relationship
with theories of online behavior, CMC, etc.) will be an issue the KC
and broader NASPA membership will be willing to address.  If you're a
NASPA member, you'll be seeing an announcement about this in a few
weeks.  If you're not a NASPA member and would like to join the
listserv we are creating to discuss student affairs and technology,
please drop me a line off-list.
