Electronically Mediated Communication
Electronically mediated communication is often asynchronous in that the participants do not communicate concurrently. Examples include email and bulletin board systems, where participants send or post messages at different times. The term acquired currency in online learning, where exchanges between teachers and students are often asynchronous instead of synchronous (that is, simultaneous), as they would be in face-to-face or telephone conversations.
