Selecting Tools for Online Communities: Suggestions for Learning Technologists - Eric Adams and Chris Freeman, the Technology Source
Setting out to build an online community is very similar to planning a brick-and-mortar community. Consider the responsibilities of urban developers who have been asked to create a neighborhood.
