Formal online discussions: reflections on process
نویسنده
چکیده
The IFETS discussion model is, I believe, a powerful one which has been making an important contribution to academic debate and knowledge sharing online since mid-1998. Although there has been intermittent informal discussion about the process itself, I don't believe it has come up for formal discussion over the last few years. Therefore, given the pace of developments in the nature of online communities and the technology which supports them, I think it timely to begin a conversation in IFETS about the process of formal online discussion.
