Abstract
In the literature, there are many testimonials to the positive effects of CMC on intellectual life. Some exploratory studies are beginning to appear to help us understand this phenomenon, especially as a component of educational environments. For this study, a survey was conducted to develop a profile of most likely users, to identify those factors which may influence or inhibit its use, and determine its perceived social and intellectual value in a graduate school community. These factors were analyzed by four levels of use to identify which factors would encourage some students to use the systems more than others.
