The present study explores how the stress of online learners is related to Korean cultural norms and social expectation and presents the criteria online education should aim at when designing instructional approaches. A sample of 176 students from a Korean online university participated in a study investigating the patterns in the academic and personal stressors they face. This study also examines stressor types in relation to sample characteristics, analyzed with a categorization method developed by extant researchers on the stress faced by U.S. college students. Unlike the findings of previous studies on college student stress, this study's results reveal that nontraditional Korean online students were faced with (1) taking on the multiple roles at work and home prescribed by cultural and social norms, and (2) challenges in regulating study habits and the learning environment as adult learners. The relevant implications for the design of online learning are discussed.

Today, Internet users start off using heavily SNS(Social Network Site) such like, Facebook, Twitter. The reason of the growth of using SNS would be closely related to the various services of gaming, playing, entertainment items, sharing information etc., provided by the SNS, technically, the most important one out of the services provided would be behaving of sharing knowledge among people who connected and networked in the site. In sum, we assume that the users may communicate well each other and pay attention to build closely a social network using that kind of activities. However, nevertheless the new trends of communications and sharing knowledge become popular, researchers have just began the research issues in explaining why Internet user rush into SNS and enjoy the time in there. Therefore, we investigate on the reasons of posting knowledge voluntarily in the SNS and how others response to the posted information and actually affected by the behavior. We appled personal relation and social identity theory for this study, which personal relation in SNS may affect on social identity and make them produce knowledge generation. We found that social identity and involvement in SNS is closely related and influence knowledge creation and generation. This empirical study resulted in the importance of social relations in SNS, which leads to a sharing knowledge.

네트워크를 통한 정보의 창출 및 교류는 온라인 커뮤니티를 형성하고 온라인 게임과 접목하면서 Social Network Online Game (SNOG)라는 새로운 엔터테인먼트 분야를 만들고 있다. SNOG는 트위터, 페이스북과 같은 Social Network Service (SNS)의 사회적 요소와 게임적 요소를 융합한 서비스로, 소셜 플랫폼에서 동작하며 사용자들의 오락적 유희와 상호작용 관계를 촉진시키고 있다. 국내 SNOG 시장은 현재 빠르게 변화하고 있으며, 급속하게 교체되고 있는 스마트 환경에 따라 빠른 변화가 예상된다. SNOG는 비용적인 측면에서 기존 온라인 게임과 비교해볼 때 경쟁력을 가지기 때문에 더욱 발전될 전망이다. 이와 더불어 페이스북, 트위터 등 해외 SNS 플랫폼 기반 SNOG 서비스와 관련하여 국내 NHN, Daum, SK 컴즈 등에서 개방형 SNS를 선보이면서 SNG 유치를 위한 경쟁이 치열해 질 것이다. 또한, 모바일 연동 기반 서비스와 관련하여 관련 SNOG 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 관련 국내 인터넷 업체들이 적극적으로 개발 참여하고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 본 연구는 SNOG 시장에 비교적 성공적으로 진입한 Nexon 'Maplestory adventure'사례를 연구함으로써 성공적인 SNOG 요인 분석 및 전략을 정리하고 분석하였다. Maplestory adventure 성공 가능 요인으로는 기존의 인기 있는 온라인 게임에 SNS 접목, 기존의 유저를 통한 marketing, NexonStar 실패요인이었던 Platform문제 해결 등을 들 수 있다. 이 연구는 이후 계속 확산 발전될 SNOG 성공 전략 문제에 함의를 제공하여 국내 게임산업 발전에 기여할 수 있으리라 기대된다.

Participants in real-time online sessions, be it (business) meetings, virtual school lessons, or social live streams, all engage in cyber social interactions. Unlike parasocial interactions, cyber social interactions are characterized by reciprocity and temporal proximity. In contrast to social interactions, they lack spatial proximity and bodily contact. This is a fairly new concept in information science that rose from technological advances and unprecedented circumstances (e.g., the rise of digital economy and knowledge workers being able to work remotely or, more recently, global lockdowns and contact restrictions). As a result, the past ways of working and socializing were transformed by making them, in some cases predominantly, virtual. Regarding the example of social live streaming we exhibit the importance of cyber social interactions for information behavior research. This conceptual article is a plea for information science to engage more in human-human online relations and interactions.

온라인에서의 상호작용을 위한 수단으로서, 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service, SNS)는 사용자의 인간관계를 기반으로 사회적 인맥 형성에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 또한, SNS는 인맥 관계를 관리하고 인맥관계를 기반으로 정보를 공유할 수 있도록 다양한 기능들을 제공한다. 따라서 SNS 사용자의 행동 특성과 인맥 관계 형성 과정의 분석은 온라인 인간관계에 대한 모델의 특징을 파악하는데 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 트위터에서 영향력 있는 사용자가 게시된 메시지의 특성을 기반으로 사용 패턴을 분석한다. 또한, 페이스북 내에서 인맥 관계 수를 기준으로 영향력이 큰 그룹과 그렇지 않은 그룹으로 분류하고, 두 그룹의 인맥 형성 특성을 비교하고 분석한 후 이에 따라 패턴 분석에 따라서 소셜 네트워크에서의 인간관계 모델의 특징을 설명한다.

With the development of Internet and transition to information society, social capital is expanding to online from the traditional offline context. Especially with the widespread of social network service(SNS) the number of SNS users is increasing sharply and the importance of online social capital has been more and more significant. Most studies on social capital focused on organizational aspects but few studies have payed attention to personal aspect. Empirical studies on the relation between SNS and social capital were seldom conducted in previous studies. Based on the theory of social capital this study targets on the relationship formed through SNS and analyzes on how the relationship affects the perceived social capital. In this study 'self-presentation', 'playfulness' and 'critical mass' are posited as the antecedent factors of 'SNS usage'. This study proposes a research model to examine the effect of 'SNS usage' on 'relationship reinforcement', 'relationship building' and 'perceived social capital'. According to the results of empirical analysis, 'self-presentation', 'playfulness' and 'critical mass' can generate significant positive influence on 'SNS usage'. It also confirms not only the effect of 'relationship reinforcement' and 'relationship building' formed through SNS on 'perceived social capital' but also relationship between the social capital formation and SNS usage. The outcome obtained in this study can be applied in developing SNS services.
