Information about Online Discourse Environment
Online discourse environments are online spaces where people interact with one another by some means of discourse. This can include asynchronous discussion boards, synchronous chat, multi-user online games, or any other computer-mediated communication tool. These environments are primarily text-based, but may contain multi-media elements such as images, animation, or emoticons. Research on online discourse often takes a social-cultural or linguistic view, where learning occurs through participation in computer-mediated communication (CMC) (see references below).
Examples include IRC, MSN Messenger, ICQ.

Discourse is communication that goes back and forth (from the Latin, discursus, "running to and fro"), such as debate or argument. The term is used in semantics and discourse analysis.
