=== Thursday, September 5th: Commitment I === '''Goals for class''' * Learn that building ''commitment'' to an online community is important to sustaining it. * Identify strategies for building commitment based on ''identity'', ''social ties'', and ''framing''. * Ensure everyone knows the guidelines for choosing a Wikipedia article.

Poke around for 10 minutes or so (please don't feel obligates to look longer than that, and don't read materials you find upsetting!) until you get a sense for who is participating and how and why people build commitment to the site such that you will be comfortable answering the questions in the reading note. Please ''do not'' post on the sites or disrupt them in any way.
