Research Areas
- Information overload
- Online silence
- Nonverbal communication in online communication (CMC cues)
- Online academic education
- Technology and society
I research the impact of digital technologies on people, organizations and society. This includes fields such as: computer-mediated communication (CMC), human-computer interaction (HCI), information systems (IS), computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), and organizational communication.
My work is in collaboration with the CollaboLab at Northwestern University, and the Center for the Study of the Information Society (INFOSOC) at the University of Haifa.
