This paper highlights four differences between formal educational systems and supportive systems which have to be taken into account in order to design a system rooted in online environments and social media:
- from pre-produced to user-generated content
- from individual subject motives to joint qualification interests
- from limited duration to continuous and sustainable activity
- from subject and thematic areas to a broad perspective on the participants' skills.
From these the authors derive a methodology for continuous support systems: "What Preston (2008) describes using the term "Braided learning" can be described as a circular method of working whereby the participants' own contributions are dealt with, commented on, written, and used as a basis for development."
