Letter to the Editor: The Role of Emojis in E-Learning
Today, with the advent of computers, smartphones and communication networks, telecommunications have become more widespread than ever, meaning that computermediated communication (CMC) has now been formed (1), and it is largely text-based (2). In this type of communication, it is not always possible for people to fully express themselves, or there might be ambiguities in the messages that they receive. In other words, a receiver’s interpretation of a text might be semantically different from what the sender intends, and there is no semantic affinity. The most important factor could be the lack of non-verbal cues which can affect the transmission of information (3). Therefore, more time and further messaging are required to communicate the intended meaning (1, 4). Distance education is no exception to this rule and could even be much more challenging than regular distance communication.
