In this workshop, we will discuss reasons for passive/silent participation in courses and seminars (both online and onsite) and generate methods for encouraging more active participation. We will present the background and initial findings of our current project Is Lurking working? (Nordplus, 2015), and the findings of this workshop will provide valuable input to the project's work. We believe that there are similarities between those who are silent learners on campus and online and that although the online environment may make it easier to remain silent the phenomenon is more about learner's feeling of security and sense of belonging than a specific online issue.
