Conversation and other activities

Date: 
01/28/2008

 

This week we have readings about that touch on the rhythms of activity (events and rituals in the Kim reading; also in Wenger et al). We also have readings about the structure of online conversation and how conversation relates to other information objects.

In class, we'll hear from a few of you who have selected communities with interesting events or rituals, or who have an unusual converation architecture. We'll also reflect on your experiences editing on wikipedia.
