Short Description

This study implements the Networked Knowledge Activities (NKAs) framework to investigate visible knowledge activities that occur in a Facebook food sharing group. Visible activities other than NKAs are discovered. Initial findings reveal that six NKAs are somehow visible and that user behaviors in the group go beyond the sharing of local foods. The engagement within the group helps foreigners who live and study abroad foster social capitals, social belongings, social support, and cultural affiliation.
