Abstract
It is hard to believe that over a century ago business professionals, educators, high school and college students were writing letters with a pen and ink, making telephone calls on a land line phone, and physically making home visits to family and friends. In today’s society, texting has replaced phone calls, picture and video messaging has replaced face to face conversation, emails has replaced letter writing and social networking is changing the face of how electronic communication is viewed along and administered.
Electronic communication has led the way in this new millennium of communication and because technology is changing so rapidly, student affairs professionals must stay on top of what electronic communication is. And how electronic communication is relevant to students, our professions, to the university as well as the best way to understand what legal ramifications which may develop from it.
This guidebook will provide several subjects of technology involving technology: Electronic communication, plagiarism regarding electronic communication, distance and web learning as well as social networking, as well as the purpose of technology in higher education.
