ABSTRACT


NetPosse: A Tool for Connecting Users in Virtual Communities

Faisal Anwar, Hui Soo Chae, Gary Natriello


We discuss the design of Netposse, a tool that matches people in online communities based on their intellectual and professional interests. We frame the motivation of this tool around current research on how learners can leverage social communities for maximum benefit. Given this literature, we present a design for Netposse that mines data from existing web assets and matches people according to their areas of expertise. In addition to matching individuals, such a system serves the purpose of query answering as well: it allows users to search and identify others in the community whose background qualifies them to provide advice on a user’s topic of interest.
