Abstract

'Community’ has become a buzz word in the E-Learning arena. This paper examines the concept of virtual community, in the context of E-Learning. It defines what constitutes a virtual community and virtual learning community. A model comprising four essential criteria that define a virtual learning community is proposed. These criteria are discussed with relation to Deakin University’s E-Learning system. The paper concludes by highlighting the factors that may help bridge the gap between Deakin’s present provision of E-Learning to the development of a virtual learning community.
