[Air-L] Research on multiple CMC environments

[Pam Brewer]

Alice--

I defended my dissertation this past summer:  Case Studies in 
International Virtual Workplaces.  While the dissertation didn't focus 
on the genre systems you are referring to in your email, I did collect a 
great deal of data on the types of CMC used by the 22 participants in 
the study--always a mixture (or a system) rather than one tool.  I'm not 
sure how or if I can be of help to you, but I do have these data which I 
plan to use in the future, and I'd be glad to talk with you.

Best,
Pam
