Sociology tends to have less of an emphasis on theory than some other fields, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton of research that's useful and relevant.

- Alex3917 11y agoMy point was that there is a ton of research relevant to each component of that interaction... E.g. how text affects us emotionally, how peer feedback impacts motivation, the properties of synchronous vs asychronous communication, etc. I was merely trying to evoke "the sociological imagination".
