http://www.windweaver.com/internet.htm - 'how to fight fair online' and 'recommended emoticons' might be useful. Sensible guidance about online communication - useful for students as well as worth keeping in mind ourselves.
http://www.atimod.com accesses the home page of Gilly Salmon, of the Open University's Business School. A lot of useful information from recent presentations and publications. Those who are 'emoderating' (managing an online discussion group, or actually tutoring online) might find the 'techniques for CMC' chart useful to reflect upon.
