“…La capacidad de los medios de comunicación electrónicos para entrar en los hogares y en la cotidianidad de sus audiencias, así como el uso de un determinado tipo de lenguaje audiovisual que primaba la sensación de copresencia (Zhao;Elesh, 2008), hicieron posible que los líderes políticos pudieran dirigirse a sus gobernados como si se tratase de sus familiares y amigos (Thompson, 2001, p. 66). Ello permitió el desarrollo de estrategias de comunicación política centradas en una presentación del candidato más íntima y cercana (primeros planos, formatos que remitían al ámbi-to de la interacción cara a cara como la entrevista, etc.).…”

“…In Second Life, however, 'real' spaces are not necessarily defined by physical-world aspects such as the design of buildings and the space that exists between and within structures shaped by the organisation's function and activity. Zhao and Elesh (2008) argue that the ownership of space also has to do with being in the right region, based on affinity, common interests, even rules and regulations -and yet, a sense of ownership of a space does not guarantee engagement in of itself.…”

Unpacking frames of reference to inform the design of virtual world learning in higher education

In the changing context of globalised higher education, a series of pedagogical shifts have occurred, and with them, a number of interactive learning approaches have emerged. This article reports on findings taken from a large-scale study that explored the socio-political impact of virtual world learning on higher education in the UK, specifically with regard to Second Life. Three dominant frames of reference emerged following analysis of data gathered from student and staff perspectives of their experience and use of Second Life, namely: (i) games and gaming media; (ii) disciplinary learning; and (iii) institutional space and ownership. Such frames of reference were evident in the practices of those involved in using virtual worlds, but it is suggested here that they have largely been overlooked in the literature in terms of their impact and how they may inform learner understandings. We argue that these frames of reference need to be recognised and located in the design and use of virtual worlds in higher education. Throughout the article we present our findings in relation to perspectives emanating from Europe as well as Australasia and the wider Asia Pacific.

“…1 Because a display screen is always part of the interface of such devices-even on mobile phones-I propose to equate this "social synchrony" with the requirement of the interactants' simultaneous presence "behind" their respective screen. In other words, it is a form of copresence without any reference to physical space (Zhao & Elesh, 2008). 2 It should be also noted that Internet users tend to restrict the term chat to devices based on text, in contrast with those promoting interaction by voice, video, or through graphic avatars.…”

Metaphors of Synchrony: Emergence and Differentiation of Online Chat Devices

Through a detailed account of the history of online chat devices, this article shows the emergence, over time, of two distinct interactional formats underlying these social media. They may be captured by two generic metaphors of synchrony: conference (a gathering in a virtual place where unfocused interactions and group sociability occur) and copresence (where practices are centered on the sustainment of contact between individuals who know each other). Internet Relay Chat (IRC) appears as the archetype of the conference format. This notion of chat involves the existence of a relatively persistent shared space-conjured up by various specific metaphors: room, channel, and so on-inside which users get together and through which they are able to find other users, with whom they may weave electronic social ties that may possibly lead to offline relationships. The other format is associated with instant messaging (IM) devices, on the model of "ICQ" software. Although there seems to be a decline in interest for devices based on the former format, those based on the latter benefit from a growing popularity, possibly indicating deeper sociological implications.
