Abstract

In this article the conceptual clarification and application of group analytic thinking to the development of a virtual environment is discussed. The virtual institute of Group Analysis was created to provide the platform for a part-time distance learning postgraduate program in an academic department. Various fields of group analytic work have been consulted to formulate design principles in generating the conceptual idiom to present the course content. Various group analytic constructs are summoned to support the initial phase of formulating both the designed structure and the connecting communicational flow support structures. The virtual environment offers innovative possibilities but conceptual clarification and refinement of the various relational dynamics are still required.
