Aggregation
Tribal nature of new media
“New media ... have made our world into a single unit... The world is now like a continually sounding tribal drum. Media point us away from individual man and toward tribal man.” ~ Marshall McLuhan (1960) metapedia.com
“Twitter and blogs ... contribute an entirely new dimension of what it means to be a part of a tribe. The real power of tribes has nothing to do with the Internet and everything to do with people.”
Internet tribes “A tribe needs a shared interest and a way to communicate.”
Digital tribes and virtual clans
There is one digital tribe ... But there are may subsets of this large digital tribe – what we can term ‘virtual clans’. - Wheeler (2009)

Communities of practice
“Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and
learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” (Wenger 2007)
“Being alive as human beings means that we are constantly engaged in the pursuit of enterprises of all
kinds, from ensuring our physical survival to seeking the most lofty pleasures. As we define these enterprises and engage in their pursuit together, we interact with each
other and with the world and we tune our relations with each other and with the world accordingly. In other
words we learn.” (Wenger, 1998)
Lurking, or legitimate peripheral
participation?

Digital Cultural Capital – Membership of ‘the Tribe’
“Where digital
communication has fractured the tyranny of distance, and computers
have become pervasive and ubiquitous, identification through digital mediation
has become the new cultural capital”.

‘New’ learners are... • more self-directed
• better equipped to capture information
• more reliant on feedback from peers
• more inclined to collaborate
• more oriented toward being their own
“nodes of production”.
