Futurity.org – First impressions sometimes say it all
Even when viewing the targets in the controlled pose, the observers could accurately judge some major personality traits, including extraversion and self-esteem. But most traits were hard to detect under these conditions. When observers saw naturally expressive behavior (such as a smiling expression or energetic stance), their judgments were accurate for nine of the 10 personality traits. The 10 traits were extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, openness, likability, self-esteem, loneliness, religiosity, and political orientation.
What sociologist Erving Goffman could tell us about social networking and Internet identity - O'Reilly Radar
Eliminating the distinction between front stage and back stage not only degrads the workers' performance but causes intense distress--yet that is exactly the situation on most Internet forums. Very rarely can people collaborating or sharing information on a public forum pull aside into a private space.

Community colleges are the largest part of our higher education system, enrolling more than 6 million students, and growing rapidly. They feature affordable tuition, open admission policies, flexible course schedules, and convenient locations, and they are particularly important for students who are older, working, need remedial classes, or can only take classes part-time.

Contrary to popular belief, the major motivation for enrollment in distance
education is not physical access, but rather, temporal freedom to move through
a course of studies at a pace of the student's choice. Participation in a
community of learners almost inevitably places constraints on this independence,
even when the pressure of synchronous connection is eliminated by use of asynchronous
communications tools. The demands of a learning-centered context might at
times force us to modify the prescriptive participation in communities of
learning, even though we might have evidence that such participation will
further advance knowledge creation and attention. The flexibility of virtual
communities allows more universal participation, but a single environment
that responds to all students does not exist; thus, the need for variations
that accommodate the diverse needs of learners and teachers at different stages
of their life cycles. -
although interaction has long been a defining and critical component of
the educational process and context, it is surprisingly difficult to find
a clear and precise definition of this concept in the education literature - 3 more annotations...
