Editorial: International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Life-Long Learning, vol.25, no. 1, Special Issue on Ethical Issues and the Position of the Moderator in Online Learning and Teaching Environments

We, guest editors, José van den Akker and Piet Kommers, explored the idea of creating a special issue on the topic of discussion boards. Though the label ‘Discussion boards’ suggests only a technological aspect rather than the socially-rich flavour of ‘community’ it soon became clear that both can have a similar deep level of cooperation and human affinity. In this journal, the potential of discussion boards have been topic of reflection several times before.
