The Complexities of Community-Based Websites
Bomberger, Ann; Homan, Michelle
Metropolitan Universities, v26 n2 p185-199 2015
This article describes the development and ongoing operations of the GreenEriePA.org project, a portal to all things environmental in Erie County, PA. Through regular input from community partners, GreenEriePA turned into a much larger, long-term project than the faculty coordinators at Gannon University, Erie, PA, originally anticipated. We utilize Eckerle Curwood and others' (2011) framework for planning long-term community-based learning projects to reflect upon community-based websites and to make recommendations.
