There are many opportunities for minorities in information technology (IT), 
especially in the Washington, DC area according to the author.  The regions 
exploding IT growth is noted along with opportunities for public and private 
postsecondary institutions.  Other topics include outreach initiatives to attract 
underrepresented minorities to the IT field, the governments role, and the role of 
black companies.

Gender and its Relationship to Language in Computer-Mediated Communication,

Using virtual environments, this paper analyzes interactions in Internet Relay 
Chat to look at the extent to which research on face-to-face talk and computer- 
mediated communication can describe gender and its relationship to language. 
Neither the function of utterances nor the construction of gender adheres to 
dualistic descriptions, as past research has implied.


Ross, John A., Carole A. Crane, and Don Robertson (1995, Fall). Equity of Access to
Computer-mediated Distance Education, Journal of Distance Education, X(2).

A survey of graduate students (N=62) enrolled in computer-mediated 
conferencing (CMC) courses and a follow-up analysis of help seekers (N=49) 
who used a dedicated hotline found that many students had encountered 
computer communications difficulties.  Students varied in their ability to solve 
these problems and in their attitudes toward them.  The students in greatest need 
were concentrated in courses that addressed topics unrelated to computer 
applications.  Support from the hotline enabled most high-need students to 
continue in their courses, which made possible equal admission, a minimum 
standard of equity of access.
