Consider web forums and blogs.
To go back to Livingstone’s point in lecture 2, is the asynchronous online seminar just doing what we would normally in a seminar do but online, or does the shift online change the nature of the communication and potentially the nature of your learning?
Some things to consider:
a) Navigation – how do you get around the web forum; is it an online conversation?
b) Expression – do you express yourself in the same way? How do we ‘take turns’?
c) Interaction – how does it compare to face-to-face seminars
d) Time – activities being over a week?
e) Authority and identity – who is in charge?
f) Speech / writing – does the forum have features we would associate with either? A combination
g) Do you have the knowledge, the media ‘literacy’ to be a user, an advanced user? If not how does it feel?
