A virtual organization is a community of people who interact together socially on a technical platform. These kinds of communities are built on a common interest, a common problem or a common task of its members that is pursued on the basis of implicit and explicit codes of behavior. The six dimensions that are normally used to analyze virtual organizations are the use of technologies, sense of belonging, success factors, level of trust from members, virtual community management, and contents of the virtual community. The virtual organizations defined in the literature are not defined separately for non-profit research virtual organization. Here we present analysis of non-profit research virtual organization, European Working Group on Operational Research for Development (EGW ORD). This paper provides a summary of achievements and challenges faced in building a virtual organization. This kind of analysis plays a vital role in establishing new non-profit virtual organizations to serve the research community in their field of interest. It is also helpful to the group in broadening its presence and involving more researchers, practitioners and students in the field of operational research.

Investigation of factors influencing english as a foreign language learners’ cognitive presence levels in a 3D virtual learning environment
Çetinkaya, Hüseyin Hakan; Can, Gülfidan; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2020)
The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework has been widely used, debated, and analyzed to define the core elements of a collaborative constructivist learning environment needed to build and maintain a purposeful learning community, in online and blended learning contexts. Although there is an increasing number of studies on the implementation of Community of Inquiry framework into the field of language education, in online and blended learning environments where various technologies has been used, the impleme...
Incentive-based resource assignment and regulation for collaborative cloud services in community networks
Khan, Amin M.; Büyükşahin, Ümit C.; Freitag, Felix (Elsevier BV, 2015-12)
Community networks are a successful example of a collective where communities operate ICT infrastructure based on the principle of reciprocal sharing of network bandwidth. Cloud computing, common in today's Internet, has however not materialised within community networks. We analyse in this paper socio-technical characteristics of community networks in order to derive scenarios for community clouds. Based on an architecture for such a community cloud, we implement a prototype for the incentive-driven resour...
Sense of community for distance education: Asynchronous discussion strategies
STEPHENSON, SIMON; Sadık, Olgun (2019-10-30)
Sense of community (SoC) is the feeling of belongingness and recognition from others that one gets in a group. SoC is especially important in distance education programs where students often feel a sense of isolation and which tend to have higher dropout rates and lower performance than their face-to-face counterparts. Discussion forums play a significant role in the development of SoC for online courses, yet despite this there is limited research into the best asynchronous strategies to foster a strong SoC...
Using e learning for communities of practice
Gürbüz, Tarkan (null; 2010-12-01)
Learning is more considered to be a collaborative problem solving process that involves social network relations and a common shared experience. The profound changes demonstrate the essential role of supportive relationship in education and emphasize the importance of building learning communities, communities of practice and collaboration in learning environments. The advent of eLearning added new meaning to education, and introduced the possibilities for building online learning communities and communitie...
Three Dimensional Virtual Worlds Research Trends and Future Directions
Tokel, Saniye Tuğba (2014-04-01)
Use of three-dimensional virtual world platforms has been increasing worldwide. These online multi-user spaces, where users move and interact in a simulated three-dimensional spaces, provide many opportunities for learning and teaching process. Educators worldwide have been experimenting to use these technologies by investing on research and development. The purpose of this study is to analyze research trends in three-dimensional virtual world literature. The results of the study will provide a roadmap to t...
