From Ubiquity, Philip Yaffe's provocative essay, "Can Learning Languages Help You Better Understand Science and Technology?" - which suggests, among other things, that "contrary to the common belief, science is not about certainty but rather uncertainty"-- an insight, according to Ubiquity, that information technologists ignore at their, and our, peril.

CMC Research Collective

Welcome to our research collective!

In the fall of 2006 we set out to develop a network of people from the Faculty of Humanities who are using or are interested in using CMC (Computer Mediated Communication). At the moment, we are about a dozen people representing six departments and the HCMC sharing experience and research on creating new learning environments and communities.

We use this blog for announcements and discussions. We also like to extend the invitation to new members to join us!
