Computer Support Blog

Online discussions, chat rooms, and forums can be frustrating to see sometimes.  Due the anonymity of the Internet, these discussions often break out into arguments, name-calling, and a place of offensive anonymous statements. However, Clivir is a cool product that aims to create a more productive forum of online discussion.  Clivir is website that hosts many online discussion boards, but this cool product organizes its discussion sections into “classrooms”.  Clivir is a community dedicated to learning above all else.  Clivir’s organizes its “classrooms” by subject and category.  There are sections on the website for art, entertainment, business, computer technology, writing, disease, food, current events and more.  Each of these sections has several of Clivir’s “classrooms” inside it, where Clivir users post structured information meant to inform and educate.  Unlike typical discussion forums, which tend to be a free for all with some limited moderation, Clivir classrooms require users to post complete “classes”.  Each class must have citations and sources for the material it teaches.  Clivir moderates each classroom to ensure that classes live up to the website’s standards.  If a user has trouble accessing classrooms on Clivir, that person should get in touch with a remote computer support service and acquire help. 

Clivir doesn’t have any requirements on who can post classes on their website.  Any user with the proper expertise, whether it’s in Romantic-era literature or computer repair technique, can post classes as long as their posts live up to Clivir’s standards.  On the site, Clivir’s team claims that their goal is to operate a site where learners and teachers are one and the same.  Rather than create a separation between the two groups, Clivir wants to enable everyone to both learn new skills and information while sharing the expertise a user already has in another area.  Through this model, Clivir avoids the free-for-all of general Internet discussion forums and provides people with a place where the motivation for participation is informing others, not arguing with them.

Clivir is free for all users as it currently depends on advertising revenue as its main source of income.  Whether that model holds up or not will depend on how many people are interested in a community based solely on teaching one another.
