Description
To feel fluent in launching and growing online communities one needs to know a few basic definitions. The first course of the Practical Community Management series will help dispel the fog of mystery that shrouds what an online community really is so you can clearly see what you need to do to build your community.
In this course we briefly talk about the meaning of the basic terms and look in detail at what a community as a product consists of: the mission, the tools, and the norms. We conclude the first course with an overview of how it all works together.
