buddypress<\/a> website, especially the community elements that were built in, there was confusion and unease over the idea of creating public facing content.<\/p>\nThe most interesting thing for me regarding the online communication was the shifting of power dynamics\/negotiation tactics that occurred when compared to our face to face meetings. When people had the opportunity to reflect and then write without interruption voices that might have been lost or uncomfortable to bubble of during fact to face meetings suddenly had a lot more input. Things that were limited to side conversations during class meetings were able to become group discussions where people who weren’t initially involved felt safe to assert themselves. Things that would have been lost had we not had the online component ended up being the things we were most passionate about during Drumbeat.<\/p>\n
