Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze the reasons why some online communities thrive, while others seem to have less participation. From such an analysis, design implications are derived for application to online learning communities. A conceptual framework based on Activity Theory integrated with the principles of learning communities is adopted for the above analysis.
