Upon successful completion of this course you will be be able to explain the dynamics of online communities including formation, joining, governance, conflict, and exit. Furthermore, you will have experience with the development, challenges, and maintenance of online communities via hands-on interventions, such as experiments with your own online networks and via contributions to communities like Wikipedia.
