Communication patterns

Jon Hoem at Diablog :: has posted some comment on an interesting model for communication patterns in digital learning environments:

	Information produced by center	Information produced by individual users	Information produced by users as a collective
Distribution controlled by center	Transmission	Registering	Commenting
Distribution controlled by individual users	Consultation	Dialog	Collaboration
Distribution controlled by users as a collective	Syndication	Sharing	Emergence

The model is an extention of Bordewijk´s and Kaam´s media typology (presented in Jensen 1997) which answers two fundamental questions: Who controls the production of information? And, who controls the distribution of information?

There is food for thought here and he promises more to come on the topic.
