The Concept of Communities


cartoon pictures from Gary Larson's The Farside Gallery

How can we use the concept of communities in our ICTProj
o When we are able to solve problems
o Use ICT as an effective, pragmatic and creative solution
o We contribute to the field of computing and ICT
o We are able to help our society

The idea on communities as a research topic may be fused to other ICT trend or technology such as web portals, CSCW (computer supported cooperative work) or even social networks and virtual communities. Of course, study groups are expected to read and learn more on the psychology behind communities. There are so many theories on communities or even social interaction.

Within the university, the DLSU-ALKIEBS, the COSCA or the delasalle.ph are possible avenues where study on communities are possible.

An interested group may read the next article, "A Proposed Decentralized Approach to Gathering CBMS Data Using a Web Portal and SMS Technologies Utilizing the Parochial (BEC) Model" as an example of a proposed study and e-mail your interests to Mavic Pineda -- mavicpineda@yahoo.com
