Arguably, the term "community" has become an ambiguous buzzword
community can be a vehicle for connecting people to other people's stories, experiences, and mentoring, which results in accelerated learning and the sharing of "tacit" knowledge** within an organization.

- Approximately 70% of what an employee needs to know for success is learned outside of formal training
- (e.g., on the job, through mentoring, etc.). Communities extend learning by creating a structure whereby people can learn from "informal" interactions.
- Communities are a way to elicit and share practical know-how that would otherwise remain untapped.
- Communities become a boundaryless container for knowledge and relationships that can be used to increase individual effectiveness and a company's overall competitive advantage.
- Online Conference Communities
- (1) that the deeper the personal relationships between learners, the richer the collaborative learning experience; and (2) that relationships between learners may be strengthened through structuring group interactions (using technology) before and/or after an face-to-face training event
- Rather than end the learning experience when participants walk out the door, a structure and process is provided to keep people engaged, connected and productive for a designated period of time.
- Follow-on communities can serve as vehicles for sharing group projects, discussing findings from field research, and receiving mentoring from peers and instructors.
- Some having likened the end-to-end community to a "digital sandwich††" since the face-to-face meeting is typically "sandwiched" between group interactions supported by eLearning and collaboration tools and technologies.
- facilitate introductions, set expectations, and ensure equal participation, these same activities (and other common group processes) can and should be applied in the online world.
- The goal of technology should be to serve the community through its transparency - learners' time should be spent learning about the topic at hand, not about how to use a given technology.
- Ideally technology should be transparent to the instructor as well - no technical knowledge should be required to customize or manage the environment.
