Looking at Crook, C. (1994) Computers and the collaborative experience of learning Routledge, London which was lent to me by Karen.<\/p>\n
There’s a bit in the intro which I like, though it probably has no bearing on what I am studying. Apparently, Schelling carried out a study in which people were asked how they would set about meeting an unknown person in Manhattan on a particular date. All they knew about the stranger was that s\/he knew the same things about the world as they did. They headed for the clock in Grand Central Station.
