Is lurking ever indefensible? « Jenny Connected - 0 views

Doris Reeves-Lipscomb on 18 May 12blog post by Jenny Mackness on lurking in MOOCs and elsewhere, December 11, 2010. Raises issue on what is lurking? Is it absolutely no visible participation, some participation, or a full range of visible participation in several forums such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.? Why does lurking have to be viewed as negative or positive? Are obsessively-reflective learners automatically lurkers and therefore, not wanted in a MOOC?
