A new view on lurkers | Harold Jarche
For several years, there has been a rule-of-thumb, called “90-9-1″, that 90% of online participation in groups/communities consists of “lurkers” or more politely, “passive participants”, and only 1% are active creators. Jacob Nielsen’s 2006 post on Participation Inequality provides a good overview of this phenomenon. A recent BBC survey of 7,500 people shows significantly different results. Here we see that passive lurkers make up only 23% of participants; active (intense) participants have increased to 17%; and there is now an “Easy” group in the middle who, “ … respond largely to the activity of others. This includes replying, ‘liking’ and rating, all activities where there’s little effort, exposure or risk.”

- power is not due to the technology or its design, but to the actual people involved

- So, when I did DS106 as a course for the first time in 2013, life was already set up in such a way that I could give it my full attention.

- So, what was Rhizo14 setting out to create? A one of what? Stephen uses his own courses as an example

- If my need for inclusion had been high, then I think I would have felt excluded from what some called Rhizo14FB.

- They did what humans do so well in new situations: gather in their tribes and by definition exclude those not in their tribe, or try to ‘convince’ those outside ‘it’ to join it;
- batting the ideas back and forth in order to win the game.
- The design of Rhizo14, I have to assume, is the current state of what Dave as an educational technologist believes works for massive open online courses.
- - By wayupnorth
- diversity was managed out through a group dynamic that excluded what the majority did not approve
- I did not see much by way of supporting the importance of diversity in action rather than theory.
- people left and may have been silenced by a vocal minority
- gossiping about other participants
- but Rhizo14 as an experiment on the future of higher education as a whole is not what the originators intend

The Medium Is The Meaning We Consume and Create ... Together | Wirearchy
"Subsequently, the presence of electronic media for creating, distributing and communicating information, knowledge and meaning has grown more widely and more dramatically than perhaps even he could have foreseen. Within this context, I want to try to stitch together a few concepts, perspectives and examples with which I am more or less familiar and perhaps update the core implication of McLuhan’s famous phrase."
