The Web is more than a means to distribute content it’s also a series of ‘spaces’ where individuals can be co-present. Used in this way it can become a location for discourse where knowledge is evolved rather than simply the location where ‘finished’ ideas are posted. In this presentation I will discuss how students negotiate the relationship between the world of the physical institution and the new ‘currencies’ of the Web. Drawing on my recent research I will discuss what it means for students to ‘Reside’ online and how this effects their fundamental perceptions of education. I will go on to explore various ways that institutions can become more present in online spaces, effectively engaging students online without invading their privacy.
