 * Online Network Weaving for Bounded Networks Doing Inward Facing Work

Introduction ** These are a set of questions that you can use to help a network think through how to integrate the use of online tools to support its work. These frameworks have been adapted from “[|Digital Habits: Stewarding Technology for Communities] (buy the book). I adapted some of the concepts for use with and as a prelude to developing a introductory training:

· ** Bounded Networks:  **  Networks in which participants are largely known and access to participation is controlled. · ** Inward Facing Work:  ** The nature of the online work is confidential or highly sensitive. It needs to take place in a secure area online.

** Discussion Questions ** ** ONLINE NETWORK WEAVER/TECHNOLOGY STEWARD **  Is someone playing the role of an online network weaver? How are they currently supporting the network in the selection and effective use of the online tools to support their work together? Is the online network weaver someone who has the dual competencies of understanding the network’s work and technically adept?

What is the nature of the work that network is doing online together that the online technology needs to support? What are the contextual factors that will affect the choice of technology tools or platforms for the network? What are some different acquisition strategies for providing a network with technology?  What are some tools or constellation of tools that a online network weaver may consider to support the network’s online work?
