The website receives an average of 1,000 hits per month our first web forum attracted over 60 participants and the numbers continue to grow with each session we run. The forum participants use articles posted on the web site to inform the discussion.

Our survey of forum participants told us that our readers:

    • are committed to professional development;
    • see the value of research in practice;
    • see the value of online communication; and
    • use internet as professional development resource.

Eighty-five percent of those surveyed said that Literacies and the web forum helps them to meet their professional development goals, and here is how:

I would not have been able to participate in this level of dialogue in any other forum I can think of.   Even at conferences, time runs out as you get in the meat of things. I like being able to ruminate over the ideas and not HAVE to respond.

It continued and deepened the level of understanding of the issue.

I appreciated hearing analyses from people who I think are well informed and capable of analyzing and using data.

By putting me in touch with others working in the field. By allowing me to know what others are doing.

And here is what they said about participating in the forum:

This [discussion] was accessible and I learned some things.

The great job the facilitators did in summarizing key concepts.   I will return to those archives if needed.

The number of active diverse participants who thoughtfully took time to share on line.

Opportunity to hear different points of view that must be considered. The contributions were very thought provoking and enormously useful.

Confirmation that the issues are complex, there is no one solution and that there are many committed and passionate people out there!
