One of the difficulties many editors face in their work is isolation from other editors. In the past, there seem to have been more opportunities for sustained learning from experienced editors because there were more editorial departments in organisations. Now, editing tends to be outsourced to individuals on a project basis, and the profession has fragmented in terms of means for mutual support and sustained relationships. However, how we are perceived by clients is a function of our collective professionalism and competence. For our own credibility and sustainability as a profession, we need to support one another to be the best we can be. Electronic communication technology offers a fantastic opportunity to regenerate a sense of community for editors, and Editalk has the potential to become a lively forum for advice, for debate, for the exchange of information — an extended dialogue and collective mentor.

Using case studies gathered from teaching projects, this paper analyses both electronic mail, and real-time chat data of pairs of American-Australian students. Results show distinct patterns of interaction concomitant with small group theory, but with marked differences with respect to modality. Survey data reveals idiosyncratic preferences for using either e-mail or real-n-me chat. Analysis of the actual discourse highlights contextual cultural difficulties such as level of language proficiency and organisational norms.

Some Ideas About Producing Online Modules: Learning Dynamics Australia 
Online learning results from the interaction of a learner and a Web-based set of content and collaboration with other people. The selection and direction of the content are determined by the learning and business outcomes of any module. The client sets the outcomes and provides the content. The LDA team translates that content into a set of screen components that state the meaning of the content and builds in continuity through a navigation system. In addition, collaboration with a tutor andother learners helps to maintain the personal nature of learning.

Technical Communication in Australia: A Report of Progress Towards Professional Recognition
In 1987 Brockman visited Australia raising a number of issues he saw as critical for the successful progression and survival of Australia’s Technical Communication society, and the profession. Those comments pertain to technical communication as a profession, lack of academic programs in technical communication and a professional journal, need for authentication of members, development of a professional infrastructure, the fragmented nature of the ASTC. This paper reports on how the profession in Australia is progressing in these issues and how we compare with the STC.
