The IADIS Internet Technologies & Society 2012 conference (ITS 2012) received 124 submissions from more than 26 countries. Each submission was reviewed in a double-blind review process by an average of four independent reviewers to ensure quality and maintain high standards. Out of the papers submitted, 25 got blind referee ratings that published them as full papers, which means that the acceptance rate was 21%. Some other submissions were published as short papers, reflection papers and posters/demonstrations. Best papers will be selected for publishing as extended versions in the IADIS International Journal on WWW/Internet (IJWI), Pacific Asia Journal of the Association for Information Systems (PAJAIS) (ISSN. 1943-7544), Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (ISSN: 0718–1876 and in other selected publications.
In addition to the presentation of full papers, short papers, reflection papers and poster/demonstrations, the conference also includes two keynote presentations from internationally distinguished researchers. We would therefore like to express our gratitude to Carmel McNaught, Professor of Learning Enhancement, CLEAR - Centre for Learning Enhancement and Research, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China and Matthew Allen, Professor of Internet Studies, Curtin University, Australia.
A successful conference requires the effort of many individuals. We would like to thank the members of the Program Committee for their hard work in reviewing and selecting the papers that appear in this book. We are especially grateful to the authors who submitted their papers to this conference and to the presenters who provided the substance of the meeting. We wish to thank all members of our organizing committee.
Last but not least, we hope that participants enjoyed Perth and their time with colleagues from all over the world.

DESIGNING TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED UNIVERSITY
PROGRAMMES AND COURSES IN THE 21ST CENTURY
By Professor Carmel McNaught, Professor of Learning Enhancement, CLEAR - Centre for Learning Enhancement and Research,
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China
Abstract
In most universities worldwide the use of e-Learning is now almost ubiquitous; and this is certainly true at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) where I have worked for over a decade. However, while the challenge of supporting teachers to naturally include technology when planning their courses has been met, we must acknowledge that many teachers use technology in a didactic fashion; our learning-management systems (LMSs) are full of notes and PowerPoints, and we have sub-optimal use of interactive functions such as discussion forums, quizzes, online tutorials, role-plays, simulations, etc. We also are underutilizing the potential of student-generated content that can be shared and become educational resources for all students in the course. In the presentation, I will emphasize the potential of the web for the enhancement of learning communities and provide examples that can assist teachers to revitalize their course learning designs in order to make them more learner-centred, more engaging and, hopefully, more likely to support students in achieving desired learning outcomes.
COMMUNITIES, NETWORKS, INDIVIDUALS: PLACE, SELF AND
EVERYDAY LIFE ON THE INTERNET
By Dr Matthew Allen, Professor of Internet Studies Curtin University, Australia
Abstract
In this paper, I review the long-established use of the concept of ‘community’ which attempts both to perceive and analyse the experience of human interaction, mediated by networked computing. Ever since this form of communication commenced, it was clear that it was no ‘bloodless technological ritual’ (Rheingold, 1994), but something much more deeply human and expressive. For many years, the conceptual apparatus of ‘community’ served as the primary means for understanding the limits and potentials of this activity. However, the recent rise of social networking and social media might cast doubt on the legitimacy of this contested term’s continued relevance. Thus, I move from community to self, via the network notation that has come now to dominate our terminologies. I seek to demonstrate that, as the Internet has become interleaved with everyday life to the point where there is no distinction, for many people, between online and offline, we need to think again about how and what community might mean. In doing so, I suggest that the relationship between self and others, mediated or otherwise, is always one of shared ‘place’ but that contemporary practices of social networking differ significantly in how that place is shared and the degree of collective effort required.
