dc.description.abstract	Although discussion forums as social networks are common in learning organizations, limited research has been conducted to date. This study set out to do a content analysis of an online staff discussion forum at an educational institution, specifically the recurrence of significant topics or threads, individual staff’s participation and perceived barriers from a knowledge management perspective during two time frames. This forum was selected because it was argued that it is devoted to special interest topics that may implicitly contain information and insights on knowledge creation and sharing, creating an ideal opportunity to make recommendations for the management of knowledge therein.	en
