Online Communities

Room: Classroom, Bldg: C, 50 Woodmont ave, Londonderry, New Hampshire, United States, 03053, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/517149

Online communities have evolved from eMail lists and Bulletin board systems (BBS) to FaceBook, Zoom/Webex/Meet tools and overlap with Tiktok and more. The way these tools interact with users (email, websites, apps) and the implications of these (privacy, advertising, etc.) are points to understand. Recent disclosures indicate that Meta research indicated that use of that system was psychologically harmful, which parallels research in other areas. We will be hosted at The Baldwin in Londonderry, a residential community that uses Groups.io as an online community environment (as does the NH IEEE Section ExCom) -- so we will use that as an example of the types of capabilities an online community might find useful. This particular tool has a 'freemium" version that participants may find useful to coordinate ongoing groups, or a family reunion. And we will be sharing the discussion with Webex, a virtual event tool that IEEE uses (competes with Zoom, Meet, etc.) Members using other platforms/tools are encouraged to share their observations about the pros and cons of these.
