Living a Healthier Life Online: On Blending Professional and Experiential Knowledge in Online Self-Help Groups
Abstract
The chapter explores how organizations can facilitate online self-help initiatives in a manner that allows mutual aid to flourish between the participants. It takes a theoretical approach on the basis of pedagogy and self-help/mutual-aid research. It first develops an educational model, and then turns to practical aspects and investigates the Norwegian course “Living a healthier life – online.” The initiative is transformed from face-to-face to online as a design-based research project. The two most important elements to pay attention to in the facilitation of online self-help initiatives are found to be socialization and overall assignments: the former to prepare for mutual exchange of knowledge, and the latter to make content relevant to daily life.
