My chosen intervention: The Internet Forum

How To Behave On An Internet Forum

My first exposure to an internet forum was a few years ago when my husband joined a cycling internet forum The HubSA. I anonymously followed many of the discussion threads, and I was learning all sorts of things about cycling that I had not previously known. It was fascinating. My husband also learnt a few things over the years - the most beneficial of which was learning how to service our bicycles; how to actually build his own custom bicycle and which races were a must-do!

Until recently, I had simply forgotten the power of this intervention in promoting social interaction and learning. Now that an internet forum is my chosen e-learning intervention (see previous post), I have been trying to focus my reading on this. I came across this hilarious clip on Internet Forum Etiquette - if you have an interest in internet forums, it is well worth the 3mins and 28 seconds it will take to view :-)
