GCFSI Core Platform: Opportunity
New web-based technologies and increasing information about how people learn, connect and share offer an opportunity to rethink community website and knowledge sharing. Communities where people want to be a part of growing knowledge based community contributing to and learning from each other using tools which are engaging and help people relate to each other and to the tasks they need to accomplish.
