[Air-l] Re: references on gender, age, support & info tech use

[Caroline Haythornthwaite]

I'd like to add a few more references on social support and the use of 
technology. The first two show how support from other online learners helps 
distance students cope. The second two take look at how those who mix work 
or school and home, and explore some of what other kinds of pressures exist 
with bringing online work into the home.   /Caroline
