The interviewees expressed three main clusters of reasons for why relationships and trust cannot be properly established and sustained through online communities of practice. These reasons involve general hostility to computer-mediated communication as an arena for relationship development, the non-computerized professional environment of social workers, and particular features of the communities that were studied. %G English %Z TC 8 %Z WG 8.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01491233/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01491233/file/978-3-642-40346-0_8_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01491233 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01491233 %~ SHS %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC8 %~ IFIP-EPART %~ IFIP-WG8-5 %~ IFIP-LNCS-8075
