Building Virtual Communities examines how learning and cognitive change are fostered by online communities. Contributors to this volume explore this question by drawing on their different theoretical backgrounds, methodologies, and personal experience with virtual communities. Each chapter discusses the different meanings of the terms community, learning, and change. Case studies are included for further clarification. Together, these chapters describe the building out of virtual communities in terms that are relevant to theorists, researchers, and practitioners. The chapters provide a basis for thinking about the dynamics of Internet community building. This includes consideration of the role of the self or individual as a participant in virtual community, and the design and refinement of technology as the conduit for extending and enhancing the possibilities of community building in cyberspace. Building Virtual Communities will interest educators, psychologists, sociologists, and researchers in human-computer interaction.

As colleges, universities and other learning institutions explore teaching and learning through online environments, online communities of practice may provide solutions to organizational and professional development needs. The purpose of this book is to develop a set of guidelines for creating a virtual community of practice for faculty teaching at a distance that can easily be implemented by faculty development professionals. Designing a virtual community of practice can be operationalized using the ADDIE model to guide the process. Based on an instructional systems design process, the ADDIE model emphasizes the five core elements of the instructional systems design process: analyze, design, develop, implement and evaluate; often it serves as a project management tool or to provide a visual aid for organization of relevant tasks.

What's the point of creating a great Web site if no one goes there-or worse, if people come but never return? How do some sites, such as America Online, EBay, and GeoCities, develop into Internet communities with loyal followings and regular repeat traffic? How can Web page designers and developers create sites that are vibrant and rewarding? Amy Jo Kim, author of Community Building on the Web and consultant to some of the most successful Internet communities, is an expert at teaching how to design sites that succeed by making new visitors feel welcome, rewarding member participation, and building a sense of their own history. She discusses important design strategies, interviews influential Web community-builders, and provides the reader with templates and questionnaires to use in building their own communities.

How insights from the social sciences, including social psychology and economics, can improve the design of online communities. Online communities are among the most popular destinations on the Internet, but not all online communities are equally successful. For every flourishing Facebook, there is a moribund Friendster—not to mention the scores of smaller social networking sites that never attracted enough members to be viable. This book offers lessons from theory and empirical research in the social sciences that can help improve the design of online communities. The authors draw on the literature in psychology, economics, and other social sciences, as well as their own research, translating general findings into useful design claims. They explain, for example, how to encourage information contributions based on the theory of public goods, and how to build members' commitment based on theories of interpersonal bond formation. For each design claim, they offer supporting evidence from theory, experiments, or observational studies.

Virtual communities are a new frontier in the digital landscape. While these spaces are only in their infancy, it will not be long before they become a part of much of the population’s daily life. Before that becomes the case, it is important that we instill guidelines and parameters to ensure that those interacting with these digital spaces feel safe within them and are able to use them to their fullest capacity. Building Power, Safety, and Trust in Virtual Communities examines how online groups help people learn and change the way they think. In this book, different people with different academic backgrounds, methods, and personal experience with virtual groups look at this question. Case studies are included to help exemplify these findings. Together, these chapters discuss how virtual communities are built in ways that thinkers, researchers, and practitioners can understand.

Making an online community that grows and survives isn't easy. It takes planning, vision and dedication. Most companies aren't prepared to invest the time and manpower it takes to make it happen, and when their communities fail to prosper, they blame it on chance.

Successful online communities don't just happen, but with proper care and feeding your company can build a community that surpasses all of your expectations. If you are kind to the people who make up your community, you'll gain a sold-out customer base and your business will be the beneficiary of increased sales, increased loyalty and increased customer satisfaction. This book isn't intended to tell you what a community is, it will explain what a company can gain from a great online community and it will give you the education and tools you need to make it happen. This book is for anyone who wants to build a fantastic online community. From Product Mangers to Executives, from Entrepreneurs to Evangelists, anyone can make their company's community thrive. Community management isn't about trickery or contests, but about treating your community's members as if they matter to you. After reading this book, you have no excuse not to build your own thriving online community.

With the advent of the internet marketing has seen a reinvention of the idea of communities in the form of online communities. In the last decade online communities emerged that are centred around specific interests or hobbies, co-production, learning platforms, consumption and brands. Online communities present a new and innovative way for marketeers to tap into user feedback, create deeper relationships with consumers and supply personalised offerings. However creating and developing a virtual community can be an expensive and risky process. While many researchers have analysed independent elements that are important for community development, marketing science is still lacking research into how these elements work together to create successful communities. The focus of the research project is to deepen the understanding of virtual communities and how they are created, developed and sustained. The dissertation develops a conceptual model for both the elements and processes involved and tests the model through the primary research. The research method uses unstructured interviews and critical incident technique with the creators of six virtual communities and 1-4 users of each community. All participants were encouraged to speak about their positive and negative experiences and creators of virtual communities were asked to speak about their experiences with setting up and growing the virtual community. A total of 19 interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed. All bar one element identified in the conceptual chapter were found during the interviews which gives the previously independently analysed elements further validation. Evidence for different stages in the development of communities was found, however the process is much more fluid than anticipated. This dissertation recommends that further research is carried out in the area of virtual community development.
