在线社区中的“仙女环”参与模型研究

Fairy Rings of Participation in Online Communities:Lessons for Chinese Online Education

开放教育资源运动正由注重资源共享逐渐转向注重开放学习,文章介绍了在线学习社区中用户的参与发生在两个层面:参与的"可视"层,可以有不同的参与模式;要素交互的"不可视"层,与自然界中发生的菌根快速传播的地下网络导致的蘑菇"仙女环"非常类似。这种多维度的要素交互影响着用户的参与意愿和参与行为。文章认为参与的"仙女环"模型为分析和发展网络社区提供了非常丰富的工具,对中国网络学习社区及精品课程的研究和发展有非常重要的意义。

There is a change from resources sharing to open learn in Open Educational Resource. This paper argued that user participation in online communities occurs in two layers; the ＂visible＂ layer of participation with the different modes; and the ＂invisible＂ layer of element interactions, similar to formations observed in nature when a radically spreading underground network of fungi activity results in a ring or arc formation of mushrooms, also known as a ＂fairy ring＂. These underground multidirectional activities influence participation and participatory mobility. The paper proposes that the Fairy Ring model of participation offers a rich tool for analysing and developing online communities, and present specific recommendations for research and development of online learning communities in China.
