david masterson on 24 Apr 13Different types of technology require difterent forms of etiquette [4]. Textmessaging via a mobile phone is difterent from instant messaging and worlds apart from the asynchronous experience of email. A short abrupt comment that is acceptable in instant messaging may not be in email where some people expect to be addressed by name. Emotional affordances, syntax, and semantics vary across technology, too. 1-urthermore, new technologies may challenge previously accepted norms. Who would have guessed that having a stranger edit one's fastidiously composed prose without first asking; permission would be acceptable?

Age differences in online behavior in nonacademic environments such as online shopping and purchasing (Sorce, Perotti & Widrick, 2005) or Web search (Grahame, Laberge, & Scialfa, 2004) have been often discussed in the literature, but only a small number of studies have been conducted to examine age differences in adult learners' online learning behavior in academic settings. Those studies revealed significant differences in online behavior due to age; however, it is difficult to conclude age-dependent online behavior based on the studies because of the contextual or missing definitions of "younger" and "older" used in the studies.
