## Internet Use / Use of Online Communities and Online Social Networks

Guiding questions:
* What are important general considerations?
* What target group characteristics are most relevant with regard to effective approaches? (age, familiarity with computers and the Internet, disabilities, language skills, etc.)

### Usability / Accessibility / Sociability

With regard to usability, accessibility, and sociability, we need to differentiate between the following levels:
* Software (e.g. Drupal, MediaWiki distribution)

* etc.

### Inter-generational relations
## Volunteering

Guiding questions:
* What are important general considerations?

Add different dimensions based on literature review and workshops

## Actions

For each action (Overview of actions):
* Concept
* Implementation report(s) with timeline
* Information regarding effectiveness, efficiency, and impact (indicators over time)
* Information regarding sustainability/scalability: Business Model, Indicators, Multiplication Concept
* Information regarding transfer and internationalization: context analysis (particularities of a given implementation); international comparisons of relevant socioeconomic data
* Testimonials
* "resource" persons that can give information and/or provide assistance in case of a transfer (they have know-how concerning existing implementations and/or the methodological know-how for an analysis of the target context) --> Community of practice
