“Digital altru-what?”

The title of this blog and its posts may seem dense at first, but digital altruism is a part of all of us. In a nutshell it's about how we all have a deep-seeded need to do good in the world and how, thanks to new technologies, we can be a part of something bigger than ourselves from anywhere in the world, transcending the market and our own self-interest.

About Christopher Grant

Christopher and the community of experts at Emagister.com

I am a designer, user experience specialist and web project leader. Since 1996, I’ve worked with start-ups and multi-nationals based in the US and across Europe.

I am deeply interested in user psychology and motivation, specifically relating to their participation in virtual communities. My current work developing “digital altruism” is based on my experience recruiting an online community of 2,000 expert users for Emagister.com.

Now as part of the Sclipo team, I’m using this experience to help build a new version of this award-winning social learning network for teaching through video and webcam.
