Build a health online community

As learned from lecture four, The Social Cognitive Theory is really important to understand if you really wanna to build a health online community!
Social Coginitive Theory focused on what ad how people learn from one another through observation, imitation and modeling.There are some general priciples about SCT:

1.People do not only learn by first hand trial, but also observing the behaviors of others and the outcomes of those behaviors.

2.Learning can occur without a change in behavior.

3.The consequence of behavior and Cognition plays a role in learning.

4. People can have considerable control over their action and environment.

All we can learn for online community building is that, we have to take care of the way we talk, things we do online, because, it may effect the others, and do bad or good to the whole community.Good people may do stupid things, and that may cause bad things for ordinary people who observe good people or famous people.

My idea is maybe sometime it's good to set a topic administrator, who examine all the topics posted by users in community.All of this based on one hypothesis that bad guys always exists.To build a health online community, to let people envolved in this good learning community,we need to and must set good examples to let the others learn. In that case,people can get what they want,and we can build a learning trend community. Otherwise, if everyone trying to share meaningless stuff and the environment is gonna be ruined.

We do not only set topic administrator to delete unproperate topics, but also need to encourage the good topics like promoting the good topics that everybody can see it and also the people who proposed it, In that way, people who are do active thoughts are been rewarded in famous and other common user get a better chance to meet good topics.

All in all, i think there still many things need to be done to build a health onlien community :)

  2. Strongly agree with this idea! We can analyse this topic with the three levels of cognition. What we talk and share in a online community can be regard as the first level of cognition for other people. Then the idea of a 'topic administrator' elevates to the second level known as metacognition. As you said in the post, a topic administrator has to judge whether a post is appropriate for sharing in the community. To step further, the criterion of making judgement of a topic administrator comes to the third level, say, epistemic cognition.

  3. I agree with you because I have a very similar idea to which you mentioned in the publish. Nowadays the young people cares less and less about their health and if we built some social health-care systems we can attract the youth to join because their are very interested in social network and we can also attract some old ones to use social network through this kind of system.

  4. the principles are quite impressive, the online social network is quite similar to the real society, people of course easily influenced by other people's behavior, so building a healthy online network need the whole societies' effort including the government supervising, good teaching and guiding, necessary filtering and so on.
