User:Vtaylor/CIS2 Summer 2008/Online communities

Online Communities Project Plan

Base Questions first, such as:

* What is an online community? * How does it differ from a real community? * Pros and Cons of a virtual society?

Then we can get into specifics and each of us can focus on separate realms of a virtual community. Things such as forums, games, shopping and auctioning and so on. Within each subsection of a virtual world, we can each discuss the same things, such as:

* Compared to the real world version of ___, how does it differ? * Is it more convenient online or in person? * What are the inherent risks involved with both? * Has the online variant been successful?
