Abstract

This article examines the use of Internet-and World Wide Web-based learning systems in the context of business education. I propose the concept of "online learning communities" as an organizing frame for developing online learning systems. I describe some examples of online learning communities in business and academic institutions. I discuss the learning skills needed for and implementation issues in creating online learning communities.
