“…Firm-recognition mechanisms were found to be far more powerful than peerrecognition mechanisms, and the firm's recognition was more likely to appeal to the users' enthusiasm for the product and desire for recognition from its source than to the prospect of career advancement. Lin et al (2007), however, found that the deliberately constructed 'commendation region' within their wiki did encourage users to engage with and critically reflect on their peers' efforts. Finally, Jeppesen and Frederiksen (2006) found that innovative users demonstrated 'lead user' characteristics, meaning that they tended to be early adopters and thus likely to detect the need to innovate earlier.…”

“…His Social Network Analysis of an online learning environment showed that activities that did not involve one or more 'thought leaders' within the community did not develop but that 'leadership here was not a matter of simple domination of discussion but was exhibited in the careful facilitation of discourse' (Waters 2008: 7). Lin et al (2007) found that the use of wiki software enabled them to create a learning environment with significant peer support, which improved educational outcomes for all students in their project as well as making for better group outcomes. They also created an environment with a hierarchical team structure involving 'project leaders', 'trainers' and 'programmers' in a software development project.…”

Musowiki.net: notes on the creation of an online community music facility KEYWORDSMusowiki online new media World Wide Web online community ABSTRACTThis article describes the theoretical and practical justification for creating an online music community at www.musowiki.net. Through a discussion of the technological, industrial and social aspects of an online environment, it provides a grounding body of theory and describes the process of designing the project. Consideration of some of the project's early outcomes reveals four principles for community building and offers examples of how they can be applied. In conclusion, the article suggests that community music bodies and practitioners can enhance their activities both by participating in the Musowiki community and by adopting the four principles of community development.

“…Collaborative websites can also enable a kind of "jigsaw learning" shared through a wiki. A wiki may provide a way for authentic learning communities to evolve through group collaborations and knowledge sharing (Lin, Li, Hu, Chen, & Liu, 2007). While individualistic and collaborative motives are both a necessary part of socio-technical spaces such as blogs and wikis, altruistic, or collaborative motives dominate the field (Wagner & Prasarnphanich, 2007).…”

As an interactive communications tool, work-related blogs can offer professionals a way to reflect on their practices and connect with other professionals around the world who have similar backgrounds and interests. Reflection helps practitioners make connections between various information streams, their work experiences, and interactions with clients. Reflection can also help connect educational research with applied practices. This essay focuses on the development and evolution of the Instructional Design Open Studio (IDOS) blog, which started in early 2006. The IDOS blog was designed as a professional and academic blog to serve the faculty community as a way to disseminate information about e-learning. The author discusses the steps that went into developing the blog, as well as a range of specific issues, including technological, organizational, policy-based, and design. In conclusion, the author shares insight into the overall experience and provides directions for the future.

Learning management systems (LMS’s) that cater for geographically dispersed learners have been widely available for a number of years, but many higher education institutions are discovering that new models of teaching and learning are required to meet the needs of a generation of learners who seek greater autonomy, connectivity, and socio-experiential learning. The advent of Web 2.0, with its expanded potential for generativity and connectivity, propels pedagogical change and opens up the debate on how people conceptualize the dynamics of student learning. This chapter explores how such disruptive forces, fuelled by the affordances of social software tools, are challenging and redefining scholarship and pedagogy, and the accompanying need for learners to develop advanced digital literacy skills in preparation for work and life in the networked society. In response to these challenges, the authors propose a pedagogical framework, Pedagogy 2.0, which addresses the themes of participation in networked communities of learning, personalization of the learning experience, and learner productivity in the form of knowledge building and creativity.
