On-line / Off-line Collaboration Spectrum

Online collaboration, social networking and social learning are the current "in" topics.  But we should recognise that out in the big wide world of demographics there are a range of skills and personal preferences.

Some people are very IT literate and others are very hesitant to use IT; with a lot somewhere in between the two extremes.

Some people prefer one-to-one face-to-face meetings, some prefer group meetings, and some are happy to do everything online.  A lot prefer to have a mixture of these.

One rigid online social networking / learning / collaboration system might not address the full spectrum of skills and preferences.
