Self-modeling and Self-reflection of E-learning Communities

Numerous e-learning communities die over the course of time as they do not manage to adapt themselves to the changes of the community environment. We support the communities by providing possible solutions to problems the communities deal with. Firstly, we model communities and their environments and analyse them. As a result, the comparison of communities, environments and their evolution is possible. Afterwards, we propose to identify what solutions of communities were successful and enable communities to survive. These solutions are vital for communities that find themselves in similar situations. We suggest to share the solutions with other communities to keep them fit. To evaluate our approach, we propose to simulate communities and their environment to estimate whether a proposed solution effectively helps communities to survive.
