The course is an advanced undergraduate class offered at University of Washington, Seattle, during Winter 2026 (Jan 5 – Mar 12).
Today, online communities are central parts of each of our daily lives and have an important impact on our cultural, social, and economic experience of the world and each other. This course combines an in-depth look into several decades of research into online communities with exercises that aim to give students experience applying this research to the evaluation of and hands-on participation in online communities.
I expect communication undergraduates taking this course will, after graduation, work in jobs that involve communicating in, working with, or managing online communities. This class seeks to inform these experiences by helping you learn how to use and contribute to online communities more effectively and construct, improve, or design your online communities.
I will consider the course a complete success if every student can do all of these things at the end of the quarter:
Write and speak fluently about the rules and norms of the Wikipedia community and demonstrate this fluency through successful contributions to Wikipedia and clear reflections on these issues.
Recall, compare, and give examples of key theories that seek to explain why some online communities grow and attract participants while others do not.
Demonstrate an ability to critically apply the theories from the course to evaluate a real online community and a real challenge or set of challenges of your choice.
Engage with the course material and compellingly present your ideas and reflections in writing and orally.
