    Academic and social integration in cyberspace: Students and e-mail
    Gatz, L. B.; Hirt, Joan B. (Johns Hopkins Univ Press, 2000)
    Academic and social integration have traditionally been measured through interactions between students and the college environment (e.g., contact with faculty and other students outside of class).
