Broadly, Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) refers to human communication via computers--including computer network communication on the Internet and the World Wide Web. But the term can be narrowed to include only those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats (i.e., instant messages, e-mails, chat rooms). CMC systems can help a lot for supporting group learning. It allows groups to interact over time as well as over geographical location.
