6. Discuss: the concept of the 'online learning community'

Does it exist? If so, what is it?
In working with adult learners with learning difficulties, it was vital that only they had access to each others' blogs. This was done through the security settings available on 'blogger'.
This created a closed community, where learners frequently wrote to each other; when out of class, those with Internet acces at home were able to contact each other with ease.
I know of a few publications on this subject, but I would be fascinated to hear other peoples' experiences of this...
