Abstract | Emerging from the ashes of the original, disused community website, GraniteNet 'Phoenix' was reinvented in 2006 through a research and development partnership between the University of Southern Queensland and members of the Stanthorpe community who were passionate about harnessing the possibilities presented by emerging information and communications technology for enhanced social connectivity, community networking and lifelong learning. The vision of this new GraniteNet was for a sustainable community-owned, -designed and -managed web portal that would support Stanthorpe's development as a 'learning community'. |
