Are forums a reliable educational resource?

Of Participating Consultants,
62% of respondents answered how educational he/she found PSDN;
60% of respondents answered how educational he/she found PEG;
58% of respondents answered how educational he/she found ProgressTalk.
Consultants responded from three continents. So far the detailed African sample is very low, so they are not itemized in the analyses.

Consultants find somewhat more educational value from PEG than PSDN forums. Europeans generally find more educational value from forums than do Europeans. Click on the image of the chart to see a popup link with the details of this section of the survey.

Of the responses, these are the most interesting remarks:

• Once PEG was very educational, now it’s a slugfest.
• I’ve never visited PSDN forums, my remarks are about the whole "communities" site.
