  2. Synchronous Asynchronous

  3. Context: Participant demographics Medium variables: synch/asynch, frequency, length Key variables: examining raw data for meaning of messages, purpose, language, structure. Basis for comparison Content: Structure: ex. first or second person pronouns, action verbs. Counting frequency of Semantics: coding statements in different categories Computer-mediated discourse analysis (with inspiration from Kirk Job-Sluder & Sasha Barab, 2004)

  4. Online ethnography - a narrative approach Data material: • chat log, email, group mail, voice recording, homepages, course syllabi,

  5. Case: Webheads in action Level of participation: • active as read-only • Novices • Getting involved • Social networkers • Mentoring others • Domain experts

  6. WIA timeline: 2001-2004 • Who joined when? • What happened, week for week? • Interactive moments - who reported back? • Recurrent activities (weekly, monthly, yearly) • Significant dates of special events • Structuring collections of dates, papers, notes etc • Participant excellence • Collaborative activities • Social messages

  7. Motivation factors: • Learning • Knowledge building • Experimental partnership • Building social relations • Technological support • Feedback on activities • Invitation for conferences Professional development
