Abstract
The current education system and workplace emphasise teamwork, technology and globalization. These core
concepts are central to Computer Science and the software development industry, where collaboration in virtual
teams, across international boundaries, is commonplace. Computer mediated communication (CMC) facilitates
emotions, but in a rather different dimension than face-to-face communication. To express emotions in CMC most
common cues are Emoticons and Paralanguage. This paper will present results from a project wherein three
international higher educational establishments collaborated on a computer mediated communication software
engineering project. The paper will present the types of uses of emoticons and paralanguage cues used by students
in their interactions. The work reveals the influence of emotion in the communication between students in a
collaborative space.
