基于文本的交互是通过计算机网络连接用户的计算机中介通信的常用模式之一。文本聊天一直是并且仍然是在线分布式学习环境的重要技术组成部分，在这种环境中，学生可以在自己之间以及与其他学习伙伴（如教师和专家）进行同步通信。文字聊天提供了几个启示，使其成为有用的在线互动的有效媒介，尽管它的局限性和新技术的出现，如头像或图形聊天，音频和视频会议。在本文中，我们探讨了在线文本聊天的属性，并讨论了聊天媒介支持的对话的局限性和问题。我们讨论了如何使对话更好，使更多的自然和连贯的对话，促进对话与学习的性质，提供聊天对话的聚合视图，并提供聊天参与者的上下文或对话流的动态的社会意义。我们回顾了支持、分析和可视化聊天对话的技术创新工作。
Text-based interaction is one of the frequently used modes of computer mediated communication connecting users via computer networks. Text chat has been and is still an important technology component of online distributed learning environments where students communicate synchronously amongst themselves and with other learning partners such as teachers and experts. Text chat provides several affordances that make it an effective medium for useful online interactions, despite its limitations and the advent of newer technologies like avatar or graphic chat, audio and video conferencing. In this paper, we explore the properties of online text chat, and discuss the limitations and problems of conversations supported by the chat medium. We discuss ways of making the conversations better, enabling more natural and coherent conversations, facilitating conversations with a learning nature, providing aggregate views of chat conversations, and providing chat participants with a social sense of the context or the dynamics of the conversation flow. We review work on technological innovations that support, analyse, and visualise chat conversations.
