Subtypes of Online Communities

  • Asynchronous (“not live”)

    • Messages are stored somewhere and community members read and respond to the messages on their own schedules.
    • Best examples: email, newsgroups, Blackboard/WebCT
  • Synchronous (“live”)

    • Communication is real time.
    • Best example: AOL chat rooms / AIM.
