The document summarizes Anthony Cocciolo's research on how the introduction of a Web 2.0 technology impacts the culture of learning within a community. The research studied a system called PocketKnowledge over two years. Results showed evidence that the technology provided a space for a participatory subculture to form, as users were more likely to both consume and contribute content than on other sites. This visibility of contributions online may impact users' decisions to participate and the overall culture. Future research could explore how to specifically design technologies to support participatory cultures and cultural change.
