Paper Abstract:
|
The advent of online computer technologies has brought with it a variety of popular tools which elude systematic study because of their relative newness or their esoteric nature. Early examples included online chat systems, bulletin board systems, instant messaging and SMS messaging, which were not initially selected as suitable targets of investigation. Another technology, voice broadcasting or messaging, has been used for more than a half a decade, but has not attracted the attention of educators or other professionals. While seemingly just a new application of telephony, voice broadcasting may also be seen as a new medium of communication. Possible uses include announcements, reminders, short quizzes, and emergency alerts in these times of terror. It thus deserves the attention of professionals, who may use the technology for a variety of purposes. This paper examines the new technology and reports the results of a pilot study of voice broadcast messaging conducted in an educational institution. |
