Together with Bellanet, USAID, the Association for Progressive Communications and others we created the 'Building Electronic Communities an Networks' web-based curriculum for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The module covers the approaches, methods, and tools used to build
electronic communities as well as the steps and procedures for
developing and facilitating electronic communities. TIt contains 29 lessons, ranging from approximately 15 to 90
minutes duration, grouped into five units, for a total of about 16 to
22 hours of self-paced instruction. You can use it to help you build, nurture and sustain your online community. It walks you step by step from assessment to implementation.
