Opis

Our online interactions create new forms of community and knowledge, reshaping who we are as individuals and as a society.

Recenzje

'… Amy Bruckman essentially brings together her thinking on the potential in social creation of knowledge, pitfalls to watch out for, ways to invent through online resources, and developers' responsibilities … [It] will enlighten general readers who have seen none of the dozens of books and articles recently published on peer communities.' Avon J. Murphy, Society for Technical Communication
