WebheadInformally, a webhead is a compulsive or frequent user of, or contributor to, the World Wide Web--a person who is enthusiastic about the World Wide Web and uses it a lot.
A webhead in the world of language learning and computer-mediated communication (CMC) as it applies to education is also a member of a community of practice (and its satellite groups) that started in 1998 with a community of language learning students called Writing for Webheads. After taking on board a lot of teachers in the student group, a session under the auspices of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) was conducted in the annual Electronic Village Online (EVOnline) event prior to the annual TESOL Conference in 2002, and from that was formed a separate community called Webheads in Action (WIA). Inspired by this group and its subsequent interactions some of the most action-oriented WIA participants have run their own EVOnline sessions to introduce newbie webheads to the concepts of using CMC tools to form working group communities.
