Abstract

This article examines a group of Chinese seafarer-partners’ activities in an online support group and discusses how gender issues may serve to influence women’s informal learning process online. It reveals that seafarer-partners not only acquired information, knowledge and emotional support, but also learnt an attitude, which helped them to adapt to the environment. In this process, gendered communication content and style and gendered beliefs/values played a role.
