Tutorial Chat 1

Had our first practice chat session in the tute today. A rather interesting observation I noted was that we were talking about the differences between online vs. offline personas, anonymous vs. identifiable, and that as we were all only identified by our student numbers, we were in effect anonymous to each other in the virtual world and that were in fact having the most in depth chat we had had about any topic in any tute so far. I guess because there is less chance of embarassment infront of peers for not knowing what you are talking about. Particuarly due to some of the complex theories we address in vitrual cultures.
