Exploring cognitive processing and behavioural patterns in a seamless online learning integrated discussion environment: a progressive sequential analysis

Biographical notes: Piet Kommers is an Associate Professor at the University of Twente at the Department of Media, Communication and Organization. He chairs the IADIS conferences and the e-society conference and web-based communities conference in particular. In his work for UNESCO, he brings forward the blend between the nature and the culture of learning. He distinguishes the ‘new’ media as catalytic to communication and awareness. In his view, learning gradually embeds in every aspect of life pertaining to the delicate question if learning can be orchestrated essentially. Similarly, we may question if communication can be ‘arranged’ as we ought to believe at the dawn of the social web.
