Hi, nice to meet you, Stephanie! I guess there is a lot on online culture, online community etc, but I do not know if the modern approach to Internet would talk about "group dynamics". Let us see what the others say! Anyhow, on this AiR-list you'll get a lot of the first mentioned concepts. Anyhow, let me shamelessly promote myself, and thereby also some approaches to "chat": Teresa Cerratto and Yvonne Waern (2000). Chatting to Learn and Learning to Chat in Collaborative Virtual Environments". M/C - A Journal of Media and Culture. Special issue on "chat". Issue Editors: Felicity Meakins & E. Sean Rintel . August 23, 2000. http://moby.curtin.edu.au/~ausstud/mc/0008/learning1.html Good luck with your search! Yvonne
I've been seeking literature on small group dynamics online - can anyone point me to anything specific? Maybe in organization/management or some other applied context? At this point, anything that seems remotely close would be a big help!
