Discussion on the Web is mediated through layers of software and
protocols. As scholars increasingly study communication and
learning on the Internet, it is essential to consider how site
administrators, programmers, and designers create interfaces and
enable functionality. The managers, administrators, and designers
of online communities can turn to more than 20 years of technical
books for guidance on how to design online communities toward
particular objectives. Through analysis of this "how-to"
literature, Designing Online Communities explores the discourse of
design and configuration that partially structures online
communities and later social networks. Tracking the history of
notions of community in these books suggests the emergence of a
logic of permission and control. Online community defies many
conventional notions of community. Participants are increasingly
treated as "users", or even as commodities themselves to be used.
Through consideration of the particular tactics of these
administrators, this book suggests how researchers should approach
the study and analysis of the records of online communities.
As the pace of change in the workplace accelerates and training
budgets are challenged, it becomes essential for employees to learn
as they go along. In this connected world, new ways of learning are
emerging all of the time, whether the learning is planned,
unexpected or self-directed. For those responsible for learning and
development in organizations, understanding how this kind of
informal learning can be utilised and measured is key to providing
efficient and cost-effective ways of delivering on organizational
objectives around people development. Informal Learning in
Organizations offers practical tools, including checklists and
action plan questions, to guide the Learning and Development
practitioner in how to design and implement an informal learning
strategy that is personalised to the needs of their own
organization. It combines the latest thinking on new technology and
practices with established theory and research to provide an
evidence-based review of informal learning and its true impact. It
offers an overview of how and why informal learning resonates with
people, how it works and when and why it doesn't. This book will
assist the reader in making sense of their connected environments
to create a continuous learning culture in their organizations.
