Abstract

This concluding chapter serves as provocation for thinking about niche online communities as not solely constituted with human actors. It examines the question of how digital code participates with and subtly shapes niche online communities. Learning online is not only a matter of interaction between humans; it also participates with and shapes the code that learns and constructs the conditions in which one learns. Digital code delivers and dictates the content we see and learns from how an individual interacts with others. It is far from egalitarian with content as it amplifies patterns and popularity, which results in homogenous experiences and thinking for users. As a result, educators, designers of online learning environments, and researchers need to take into account the role that digital code plays in the interface it creates in teaching and learning online.
