Research Questions
My initial research questions will be
• “How can I as a resource provider use the 'read-write' web to improve communication between users?”
• "How can my use of these tools encourage users to form collaborative relationships around specific resources?"
Other questions will emerge during the course of the enquiry.
My assumptions are:
• that the introduction of blogs, RSS, FURL, wikis, social tagging and other on-line tools may improve the experience of using the internet for some users.
• that self-selected groups can form collaborative relationships around resources
• that some users will see the benefit of joining in the conversation
• that a social constructivist approach is of value
• that communities of interest, if not of practice, could form around specific on-line artefacts
• that other users will not join the conversation but may still benefit by observing.
• that some of their reasons for this may be due to unfamiliarity or discomfort with technology
• that some people will not share my beliefs in the value of collaboration
• that some people regard their knowledge and insights as something to be guarded rather than shared.
