How can you bring together learners in groups for collaborative learners (or online communities) and make them trust each other?  When starting a group, make it cohesive and make the members trust each other's active participation and offer several tools for the online group wherein every member has equal access, everyone can contribute and read others' contributions, makes it easy to share information, etc.
