Abstract

The benefits of involving students to contribute knowledge in computer conferences have been noted by some researchers such as by Beach (1974), Bloxom et al. (1975), and Rourke et al. (2001). Current studies have focused on the situations where students are coerced to contribute knowledge through extrinsic factors such as incentives or penalties. This study attempts to complement the existing research by investigating student altruistic knowledge contributions. It applies quantitative content analysis to find out that knowledge contribution from altruistic students is of significant inequality. The significance of the results and suggestions of future work is discussed.
