Any important sites? What systems do you need to run these? Are there any websites that demonstrate this?
What is a Virtual Community or an Online Community and how do they work? What topics do they cover?
In general, there are four frameworks for online facilitation:
Understanding of group facilitation as it occurs face to face and online.
Knowledgeable about design. Ideally, they are involved in the conceptualization, design and implementation of the online space to ensure that group member needs are accounted for. They participate in pre-assessment and planning.
Grounded in the group's purpose with full understanding. They can convey it clearly to group members.
Prepared with tools and processes.
Facilitators use their group facilitation skills to enable the group to meet it's goals. This involves a group of processes which include:
Entry and engagement processes which help members become active participants
Supporting sociability, relationship and trust building
Constructing, adapting and modeling norms, agreements and accountability
Support discussion and dialog (foster communication)
Support divergent, convergent and task-oriented group processes (help get work done)
Anticipate and work with conflict and abrasion to both allow emergence of new ideas and protect people from harassment
Work with full understanding of diversity in learning style, culture and personal styles
Understand and make visible group participation cycles and "rituals" in the online environment.
Summarize, harvest, weave and support appropriate content and connections
Provide basic help as needed with the tools
Ensure the space is kept "tidy" and navigable.
