چکیده
How to establish an online space of discourse that lives on interaction organized into a dialogue? This text provides an analysis of the social dynamics of several modes of interaction between students of “Technology Assessment” in a University of Applied Science. The web-based negotiation game “Surfing Global Change” SGC (© with the author) delivers a set of rules for guided online discussion that opens into the generation of a consensus on complex interdisciplinary matters. This analysis shows that “quality” can be measured by many combinations of parameters but that finally any such metrics must be accepted by the affected stakeholders. This paper suggests public participation as a tool.
