Many modern technologies offer a wide variety of methods to facilitate general community building and civic engagement (Coronado Escobar & Vasquez Urriago, 2014; Lee & Kim, 2014), These technologies so far include (but are not limited to) forums and chat rooms (Komito, 2005; Lee & Kim, 2014; Phang & Kankanhalli, 2008), social networking technologies (Abdelghaffar & Sameer, 2013; Sameer & Abdelghaffar, 2015), and games (Bista et al, 2014; Kahne, Middaugh, & Evans, 2009; Mayer, 2009).…”
