Social capital has recently emerged as an important interdisciplinary research area . It is frequently used as a framework for understanding various social issues in temporal communities, neighbourhoods and groups . In particular, researchers in the social sciences and the humanities have used social capital to understand trust, shared understanding, reciprocal relationships, social network structures, common norms and cooperation, and the roles these entities play in various aspects of temporal communities . Despite proliferation of research in this area, little work has been done to extend this effort to technology driven learning communities ( also known as virtual learning communities) . This paper surveys key interdisciplinary research areas in social capital. It also explores how the notions of social capital and trust can be extended to virtual communities, including virtual learning communities and distributed communities of practice . Research issues surrounding social capital and trust as they relate to technology driven learning communities are identified.  \nRé sumé . Depuis peu, le capital social ressort comme un domaine de recherches interdiscip linaires important. Il sert souvent de cad re d'analysede diverses questions sociales dans les communauté s, les voisinages et les groupes temporels . En particulier, les chercheurs en sciences sociales et en lettres et sciences humaines se sont servis du concept de capital social pour analyser la confiance, la connaissance partagé e, les relations ré ci proques,  \nles structures du systè me social, les normes communes et la coopé ration, ainsi que les rôles que jouent ces entit é s dans divers aspects des communauté s temporelles . Malgré la prolifération des recherches dans ce domaine, peu de travail a ét é fait pour englober les communauté sd'apprentissage axé es sur la technologie ( appelées é galement communauté s d'apprentissage virtuel) dans cet effort. Cet article examinedes domaines de recherche interdiscip linaire clés du capital social. Il explore é galement la façon dont les notions de capital social et de confiancepeuvent être aussi appliqué es aux communauté s virtuelles, y compris les communauté s d'apprentissage virtuel et les communauté s de praticiensré parties . Nous identifions é galement les questions des chercheurs sur le capital social et la confiance dans leurs rapports avec les communauté sd'apprentissage axé es sur la technologie .  \nIntroduction  \nSocial capital has become an important research area drawing on several disciplines in the social sciences and the humanities . Recently, it has been used extensively to address social problems in temporal communities . For example social capital has been used as a framework to address problems of lack of civic engagement ( Putnam, 1993a; 2000) , the role of social capital and civic virtue ( Sir ianni & Friedland, 1995) , and social capital as a gateway to economic gains ( Sobel, 2002) . Social capital has also provided a theoretical framework for studying community development ( Gittell & Vidal, 1998) , organizational development ( Cohen & Prusak, 2001) , grief intervention ( Preece, 2002) , the economic performance of firms ( Baker, 1990) , the creation of intellectual capital ( Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) , learning in response to change and sustainability in communities ( Falk & Harrison, 2000) , community and school achievement ( World Bank, 1999) , community devel","cbCaisxMiGBMYZpR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisxMiGBMYZpR","pdf",561187,27,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Social Capital","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper focus on regarding social capital?\",\"answer\":\"It surveys key interdisciplinary research areas in social capital and examines how social capital and trust extend to technology-driven virtual learning communities and distributed communities of practice.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is trust important in virtual learning communities according to the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper treats trust as a proxy for identifying social capital and argues that high social capital is crucial for creating successful virtual learning environments.\"},{\"question\":\"Which virtual community types are discussed in relation to social capital?\",\"answer\":\"The discussion includes virtual learning communities and distributed communities of practice, connecting social capital concepts to learning and communication in virtual settings.\"}]","Social Capital in Virtual Learning Communities and Distributed Communities of Practice | PDF",1792085486,68]
