摘要:This article analyses participant experiences and statements about perceived problems in threeonline conferences to identify tensions and disturbances relating to external factors, conferencetechnology, online discussions and design choices and then considers the underlyingcontradictions within the conference systems which generate both positive and negativeexperiences of participation. The analytic stance is based on cultural historical activity theory(CHAT) since this approach gives a framework to understand and explain dilemmas, tensions,disturbances and possible contradictions as drivers for change in socio-technical systems. Thearticle ends with reflections on the implications for designers of online conferences as convenorsand technology stewards
