Took me a couple of minutes to understand what it is :) I was testing http://www.zoominfo.com/ that is supposed to collect info about someone online in one space (was wondering how much on me is there - re: http://blog.mathemagenic.com/2005/09/14.html#a1667) Between other things it has a feature that allows you to send email to the person you are searching for without disclosing it. I was wondering what email it had in the system for me and send a message to myself - and it got posted to AOIR :( So, as everyone could see now, it assumes that I have two emails one of which is air-l(a)aoir.org Tools like this one obviousely add a very specific spin to all discussions we may have on privacy and ethics....

request for help finding an article
by Mihai Moldovan 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Hello everyone, I've been trying really hard to find a copy of the following article Markus, M. L. 1987. Toward a 'Critical Mass' Theory of Interactive Media: Universal Access, Interdependence, and Diffusion. Communication Research, 14(5): 491-511. (or Markus, M. L. 1990. Toward a "critical mass" theory of interactive media. In J. Fulk & C. Steinfeld (Eds.), Organizations and Communication Technology: 194-218. Newbury Park, CA: Sage) without any luck so far. If any of you has an electronic copy of this paper, or has any information about where to get it, I would really appreciate your help. The publisher of "Communication Research" (SAGE Publications) does not have it online, our library does not have a copy of the "Organizations and Communication Technology" book, and the only copy available at Rutgers university (which is the only other place where I could get it) is checked out. Thank you. Mihai Moldovan PhD Candidate in Information Systems New Jersey Insititute of Technology

It is on the shelf in our library (Newcastle Australia) if you can't get one closer to home. This article is online: Whatever Happened to Critical Mass Theory? A Retrospective and Assessment Authors: Oliver P.E. 1; Marwell G. 1 Source: Sociological Theory, Volume 19, Number 3, November 2001, pp. 292-311(20) Abstract: Between 1983 and 1993 the authors published a series of articles and a book promulgating and explicating "Critical Mass Theory," a theory of public goods provision in groups. In this article we seek to trace the growth, change, or decline of the theory, primarily through an analysis of all journal citations of the theory. We find that the majority of citations are essentially gratuitous or pick a single point from the theory, which may or may not be central to the theory. However, we identify four lines of theorizing that creatively use substantial parts of Critical Mass Theory in their own development: (1) theories relevant to issues in communication studies such as interaction media and shared databases; (2) Macy's work on adaptive learning models; (3) Heckathorn's models of sanctioning systems; and (4) theories that are centrally concerned with issues of influence in collective goods processes. A few additional, less- developed lines of work are also discussed. None of this work identifies itself as being itself "Critical Mass Theory," but many of the innovations and assertions of the theory are important bases for its development.

Research Request
by Laurie Henry 13 Sep '05

13 Sep '05

Subject: Seeking Survey Respondents Principal Investigator: Dr. Donald J. Leu Student Researcher: Laurie A. Henry Study Title: Teacher Beliefs about New Literacy Instruction Scale You are invited to participate in a survey that explores teacher’s beliefs about teaching the new literacy skills (reading and writing) that students require when using the Internet. I am a graduate student at the University of Connecticut and a member of this listserv community. I am conducting this survey because I am interested in finding out what teachers believe about teaching students the new literacy skills of the Internet during regular classroom instruction. Survey results will be used to create appropriate professional development sessions for school districts that provide support and resources for the integration of technology (and the Internet in particular) within K-12 school curriculum. Your participation in this study will require completion of an online survey. This should take approximately 5-10 minutes of your time. Your participation will be anonymous and you will not be contacted again in the future. You will not be paid for being in this study. This survey does not involve any risk to you. However, the benefits of your participation may impact the teaching profession by providing important information about teachers’ beliefs regarding new literacy instruction on the Internet. If you have any questions about this project or if you have a research-related problem, you may contact me, Laurie Henry, at (860) 486-4634 or my advisor, Dr. Donald J. Leu at (860) 486-0202. If you have any questions about your rights as a research participant you may contact the University of Connecticut Institutional Review Board (IRB) at 860-486-8802. An IRB is a group of people that reviews research studies to make sure they are safe for participants. Participation in this study is strictly voluntary. You do not have to participate if you do not want to. There are no penalties or consequences of any kind if you decide that you do not want to participate. Please complete the survey by clicking on the following link: http://www.advancedsurvey.com. When you arrive at the Advanced Survey homepage, type in survey #29369 in the “Take A Survey” box. Thank you in advance for your participation in this study. Sincerely, Laurie Henry PhD Student, Cognition & Instruction University of Connecticut
