- Transparency is important for cooperative online education.
Transparency will contribute to the existence of cooperation
- People can cooperate more easily if they know something about each other and have access to some common information and services.
- Cooperation will benefit when general and personal information related to the learning and the learners is available directly or indirectly to the learning community.
- Transparency implies that users to a certain extent gain insight and are visible, but it is important to find a suitable transparency level.
- The theory hypothesizes that transparency is an important driver for improved quality, and that it has the following three positive effects on quality:
1. Preventive quality improvement;
because we are prone to provide better quality when we know that others have access to the information and contributions we provide;
2. Constructive quality improvement;
because we may learn from others when we have access to their data and contributions
3. Reactive quality improvement;
because we may receive feedback from others when they have access to our data and contributions
- Transparency may reduce the amount of low quality contributions and make high quality work more accessible as paragons for others.
IMPORTANT:
- It is important to realize that transparency must be handled carefully with regard to privacy issues.
- The users must be confident that privacy is well taken care of.
- They should be able to choose their preferred privacy level and understand how this choice controls how much of their personal data and contributions that will be available to others.
