Electronic Discussion Groups

Electronic discussion groups provide a forum in which to enhance the exchange of information between university researchers, extension agents and specialists, students, and their clientele; farmers, wholesalers/brokers, retailers and direct marketers as well as other colleagues in the same field. Three electronic discussion groups; Apple-Crop-Mg, Veg-Prod-Mg, and Direct-Mkt have been implemented and have been extremely effective in providing a unique forum for the sharing of knowledge. Over 400 subscribers are on-line with these groups from more than 30 states, four Canadian Provinces and three other countries. Participant surveys cite the ease of use, the timeliness of replies (often within 24 h), the ability to glean timely information for files and newsletters. These groups have been a valuable communication tool reaching a broad audience rapidly and cost effectively.

Electronic Discussion Groups

This article explores the use of an electronic FORUM in a social work diversity class as a way to increase and enhance outside discussions related to contemporary diversity issues. A total of 45 students from two different BSW programs participated in the FORUM. Students were encouraged to remain anonymous during the discussions to enhance the opportunity for honest dialogue. A five-point Likert scale was developed to measure students' perceptions about whether or not their participation in the FORUM was personally beneficial and how anonymity affected their responses. Overall, students felt positive about their experience with the electronic FORUM, and appreciated being able to express their opinions openly without fear of reprisal. They also reported an increased awareness about other cultures, customs, and beliefs.
