Dear Air-ers - I was trying to recall a paper given at Toronto that viewed the life & death of an online community. I believe it was called Everquest???? but now I'm not sure. Anyone who presented at Toronto on the life & death of an online community would you be so kind as to give the name of your paper here or send it to me off list. I am using it to illustrate the impermanence of online communities - any other references to 'off-line' or dead communities would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Denise Denise N.

Hi Denise There's a chapter in Design for Community (http://designforcommunity.com/) that may be of interest: "Killing your community". It's been out for a while, but could be useful.

Just to let everyone know, the lovely Andrea Baker has just had her book published, titled: Double Click: Romance and Commitment Among Online Couples with Hampton Press To quote: "It's the first scholarly book using primary data written exclusively about close online relationships, drawing from the fields of sociology, psychology, and communications. Research for the book is based upon the 89 couples who filled out email questionnaires, with some providing email correspondence and follow-up interviews. The couples, ages 18-67, came mainly from the US, with representation from Canada, Europe, and Australia. A qualitative study, the book contains many quotes from couples who present their own experiences. Couples met at dating sites, in online discussion groups, and during chats and games. It follows the process of initial attraction through communicating through text, through meeting at the first f2f encounter. The book analyzes the issues of honesty and deception and factors of success and failure among the couples."

I have been tasked with teaching a combined undergraduate and graduate introductory course on Computer-Mediated Instruction for the fall semester. The students will be primarily Informatics, including Health Informatics, and New Media majors. Ive decided to break the class into three modules: Basic instruction & training, computers in the classroom, and distance education. If you have syllabi that cover any of these areas or recommended readings I would appreciate you sending them to me offline. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
