Proliferation of technology has provided additional means of out-of-class communication. This paper focuses on the relationship between technologically-mediated out-of-class communication (TMOCC) and variables crucial to successful instructional communication. A proposed model predicted perceived immediacy to mediate the relationship between immediacy behaviors (i.e., verbal and computer-mediated behaviors) and instructional outcomes (i.e., student state motivation and affective learning). While the proposed model was not supported, a model of best fit depicts perceived immediacy as a mediator for the relationship between verbal behaviors and motivation, which then impacts affective learning. The implications of these findings are discussed, as well as limitations and opportunities for future research.

技术的扩散提供了额外的一流交流手段。本文着重探讨技术中介的课外交流（TMOCC）与对成功的教学交流至关重要的变量之间的关系。提议的模型预测了感知的即时性，以介导即时性行为（即口头和计算机介导的行为）与教学成果（即学生状态动机和情感学习）之间的关系。虽然不支持所提议的模型，但最适合的模型将感知的即时性描述为言语行为与动机之间关系的中介，从而影响情感学习。讨论了这些发现的含义，以及未来研究的局限性和机会。
