Frameworks for understanding the nature of interactions, networking, and community in a social networking site for academic practice

This paper describes a new social networking site, Cloudworks, which has been developed to enable discussion and sharing of learning and teaching ideas/designs and to promote reflective academic practice. The site aims to foster new forms of social and participatory practices (peer critiquing, shari...
