Keywords
Collective behavior; College teachers; Computer mediated communication; Dialectics; Qualitative study; Written communication
Abstract
We conducted twenty semi-structured interviews with university professors from eight states in the US about their collaborations via computer mediated communication. Our thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts uncovered four dialectical tensions (an interplay of opposing and contradictory forces typically resolved through communication) in such interactions: relational connection and personal autonomy, creativity and the mundane, task and socio-emotional goals, as well as novelty and efficacy. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
