Interpersonal Computing and Technology Journal
The Interpersonal Computing and Technology Journal (IPCT-J) was one of the first scholarly, peer-reviewed journals. It was published two/four times a year by the Center for Teaching and Technology, Academic Computer Center, Georgetown University, Washington, DC from 1993-1999.
The journal’s focus was on computer-mediated communication, and the pedagogical issues surrounding the use of computers and technology in educational settings. Emphasis was placed on the educational values of computer-mediated communication and not on the technologies involved. For this reason we believe it important to bring these early articles to you: while technologies may have changed in the intervening years – the realities of teaching and learning through medicated communications have not.
