Reflection 8: Overall summary of the course

This course has taught us how to apply a lot of computer application in helping us to understand more about language and our subjects. It also shows us that we can look at a text from various perspective and mode.

Through the class, we broke down the image of a computer and its uses in class, from it being simply a tool in our hands, it became a tool in which its use and applications became clear to us.

That there is a clear distinction yet a certain parallelism between computer facilitated discourse and spoken discourse. We find aspects of conversations as in turn taking and FTA's being undergone via digital means, from time stamps and threads, from forum admins and down votes. We wrote of Netiquette, or the general behaviour one should abide by if you wish to have a cohesive ans beneficial discussion, in absence of tone of voice, facial cues, and gestures.
