Hi Aena,

Hey Aena, I've read through the Media Richness page and I will start by saying that I do like the intro paragraph, the fact that it is straight to the point and brief but not to brief. I actually feel bad because I am not sure what to say about this page. It is very well developed and cited. The only thing I could find that may need further development is the section on Distance Learning and E-books. I think looking at online courses vs face to face classroom courses may be interesting. The page doesn't go into much detail about that. Also, I am not sure I understand the concept of concurrency, so that section may need a little more explanation. I hope I have given you something remotely useful. Jr1429 (talk) 18:38, 7 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aena, I think I agree with Joy that your page is actually pretty good already, I think the application of instant messaging is quite interesting. You could add further sub sections to it, and maybe talk about some research studies done in college students usage of messaging. Also you could explore new technological platforms such as snap-chat and its usage with reference to this communication theory. Also I think certain elements of the diagram can be explained a bit more, and maybe add a section or so about video conferencing or any other entity in the diagram that you find interesting. There doesen't seem to be much about any particular entity from the diagram, I thought that might be something you can add sub sections of to your talk page. talk, 8 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saniyachitale (talk) 4:30, 8 October 2013 (UTC)


Hi Aena!!

I read through your Media Richness page, looked at the history of the page and can tell that the page is well developed and not much is left for you to improve. I would only suggest maybe looking at how Media Richness is applied to online dating or romantic relationships in general. I just found this one article that may help!! Whitty, Monica T. "Liberating or debilitating? An examination of romantic relationships, sexual relationships and friendships on the Net." Computers in Human Behavior 24.5 (2008): 1837-1850. Good Luck!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LangCar (talkcontribs) 21:09, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Aena,

So I still don't know what else you can add to this page. I will mention that there are several places where it says "mediums", while the plural of medium is "media" (I had to look that one up for my page). I was thinking of other applications that could be applied to this theory, and from personal experience, the push for video teleconferencing and telecommuting (telework) in the private sector is pretty big right now. There are also some recent news releases about the same thing in the government, which has been pushing back a lot on the idea. You could also try looking at this paper: http://www.informingscience.org/jiito/articles/JIITOv1p087-096Campbell32.pdf

Hi Aena,

 Media Richness Theory is an amazing theory to study and I am glad I had the opportunity to present on it. I recommend checking these two articles out, I found these sources for my presentation and they might prove useful to you while trying to add sections to your already quite well developed page. Testing Media Richness Theory in the New Media: 1) The Effects of Cues, Feedback, and Task Equivocality, Alan R. Dennis and Susan T. Kinney

Information Systems Research , Vol. 9, No. 3 (September 1998), pp. 256-274 2)Shepherd, M. M., & Martz, Wm Benjamin,Jr. (2006). MEDIA RICHNESS THEORY AND THE DISTANCE EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT. The Journal of Computer Information Systems, 47(1), 114-122. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com/docview/232575432?accountid=11091 I think the article on distance education can you help you add more to that section as that sub section on your page seems to be quite short, it can be expanded further as it a good application of this theory. I agree with Joy that your page is so well developed that it is hard to find what is missing and what further additions can be made to it. Maybe you might want to look at developing the sections of New Media as you can find current articles on these topics. Saniyachitale (talk) 05:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)SaniyaReply
