Predicting Collaboration Technology Use: Integrating Technology Adoption and Collaboration Research (2010, background): “…because members must converge on a shared understanding and greater immediacy is more conducive to the development of shared understanding [22, 24, 62]. thus, we hypothesize: Hypothesis 4b: The effect of immediacy of communication on performance expectancy will be moderated by tasks such that…”
Social Capital and Knowledge Integration in Digitally Enabled Teams (2008, background): “First, at the individual level, communication through lean digital networks reduces the ability of an individual to process information by increasing his or her cognitive load (Straus 1996, Graetz et al. 1998, Robert and Dennis 2005, Heninger et al. 2006).”
Podcasting: A new technological tool to facilitate good practice in higher education (2009, result): “…of documentation, the rest of the students believed that a combination of different communication/learning media (voice, text, pictures, etc.) could improve the results of their learning processes, which is in agreement with research on the effectiveness of communication (Robert & Dennis, 2005).”
Individual Swift Trust and Knowledge-Based Trust in Face-to-Face and Virtual Team Members (2009, background): “…locations. temporal dispersion is normally associated with asynchronous team communications, which involve some time lag between exchanges [61, 124, 143]. the longer time requirement for communication and the lack of prompt response and feedback could lead individuals to assume the worst…”
New technology, new pedagogy? Employing video podcasts in learning and teaching about exotic ecosystems (2011, background): “Whilst the podcasts were deemed particularly useful by those students who self‐avowed a more visual approach to learning (Felder 1993 ), many respondents in the focus groups articulated a perception that a combination of different media could improve their learning (Robert and Dennis 2005 ).”
Media, Tasks, and Communication Processes: A Theory of Media Synchronicity (2008, background): “Individuals draw on their prior knowledge and mental models to ascribe meaning to the information so this deliberation requires time as the mass of information is reduced to an edited, simplified comprehension (Ahituv et al. 1998; Robert and Dennis 2005).”
E-mail interviewing in qualitative research: A methodological discussion (2006, unknown): “…between e-mail interviews and face-to-face or telephone interviews involves media richness, that is, the ability of a communication medium to foster interaction and feedback and to permit people to communicate with many kinds of cues, using multiple senses (Panteli, 2002; Robert & Dennis, 2005).”
The Changing Nature of Parent–Teacher Communication: Mode Selection in the Smartphone Era (2015, background): “For example, they found that reprocessability, the ability to review a message (Robert & Dennis, 2005), represents an advantage of leaner media when students use CAI.”
