Thanks for presenting this wonderful paper! As presented in the paper, your team focused on studying how the dissemination strategy affects engagement in social learning, and in particular, people's willingness to ask questions. Your experiment setting is very interesting, but here I want to share some of my thoughts on online behaviors. When a piece of information is widely broadcasted to many using mass media, there are definitely many people feeling free to ask questions because the Internet is the best camouflage to protect privacy and reputation. So, building on this mentality, I think the size of the village, and attachment and closeness among village members should be considered with more weights.
