The advances in Internet technologies that have enabled ease of navigation and access have also created many new opportunities for self-improvement and education. This study investigates the education opportunities that internet social network forums provide. The author argues that the learning process in these forums is the result of the level of user engagement. In the study he describes a number of these groups that he has led and has measured the level of participant contributions. He has identified and analysed three types of Internet behaviour modes and their concomitant contribution levels and concludes that the most significant learning is realized by participants most analytically engaged in internet forum discussions. This study aims to analyze the extent to which individuals will take advantage of self-education opportunities in an internet environment. The study materials under discussion here are offered strictly for self-improvement or personal satisfaction and earn no certificate or diploma upon completion of the learning materials.
