This requires anyone playing the role to wear multiple hats. In my post, I want to explore some of the "hats" a community manager needs to wear to execute her role.

Often, with roles that have evolved/emerged in the last 5 years, like those of Enterprise Community Manager, Social Media Marketing, Digital Officer, etc., And with roles that we know nothing about except that these will emerge over the next few years, the criteria needs to be very different.

Can we take this framework -- the three roles of facilitators -- and extrapolate into a MOOC environment? Within an organization, the three aspects of the role may not / need not be played by the same individual. Maybe, someone from the L&D team can take up this role within the context of an org.
