This term arose in our group in circumstances where we were pretty sure we were participants and legitimatively if peripherally and PROBLEMATICALLY so. We had collaboration as a goal, its a prominent feature of participation. But there can be, and often is, a lot of participation and at some important levels, its very difficult to characterize the activity as homogeneously collaborative. By not pre-judging, it helps to keep one's self-critical antennae on the alert. mike On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 10:33 PM, Helen Grimmett <helen.grimmett@monash.edu>wrote: > Oooh, I like the term 'observant participants' !!
