Write a four- to seven-page or 1,000- to 1,500-word analysis of a virtual community of your choosing. Your goal is to describe the community as deeply as possible, break the components of that community into definable parts (membership, purpose, language, behaviors, interaction patterns, etc.), and analyze how the community works. Your audience is other members of higher education like yourself. You might assume they have the same or less technological knowledge than you do, that they have the same or less knowledge of cyberspace than you, and you can expect they will know less about your particular virtual community than you do. As an academic audience, however, they expect an academic style including formal language, discipline-appropriate documentation, and evidence of analytical thinking. In short, they expect you to sound and act like others in the community of higher education. At the same time, however, they expect sophisticated but clear writing that conforms to the rules of grammar, usage, and punctuation of standard written English.
