An interesting follow-up to my earlier comment on Martin’s framework of collaboration tools for communities of practice: Wilfred Rubens on Stages of development of a CoP, levels of trust and ICT tools.

Wilfred does a really good job expanding on the discussion about community technologies and positioning Martin’s trust stages next to the 5 stages in e-moderating by Gilly Salmon (which is new to me).

Salmon’s model is worth checking anyway: it describes the specifics of e-moderation and technical support for 5 stages of community participation (access and motivation, online socialisation, information exchange, knowledge construction and development).
