Hello!!
I've been trying to find proof saying that Malaysian students in higher education prefer to communicate through online as compared face-to-face. Especially when it involves with higher authority such as lecturer, professionals etc..
I’ve look into Geert Hofstede research but it is too generalise and there is no study in Malaysian context. I’m hoping any of you could help me with suggesting some article or reading that could lead to the answers……
But do ask yourself, do you prefer to communicate through online or face-to-face when dealing with higher people????
Cheers!

Zac, There is no much research about elearning in malaysian context, specially in higher education. It is hard to find the quanti or even quali data to look at. If I am not mistaken if you search for betty collis paper, She was mentioning that online communication is not benefit only for full time students but also for part time students. I hope that it helps.
I seriously believe that the fundamental use of CMC contributes to such cases. As Warscahuer puts it, CMC promotes equal corespondence regardless of status, education level and ability. Therefore, shy and reserved students do tend to get more confident communicating online. The same goes to some who tend to avoid confrontation. In a way, online communication provides an alternative way of correspondence, especially to those with various personal psychological reasons.
