Types of online communities designed to come to a conclusion, like virtual work teams and distance learning programs, are examples of intrinsically transient social worlds. Activities that people undertake while disengaging from transient online groups affect them personally, as well as their future personal and professional relationships with one another. A key question is what processes, experiences, and emotions do members of such communities undergo as they disengage from transient social worlds, and what impact does disengagement have on their future interactions? Understanding disengagement will help designers, managers, and participants of virtual community reduce the difficulties of departure and facilitate future relationships among former members. |
