Students @ Work - a student collaborative writing project. Help us by providing feedback on the Discussion page.

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?
