A paper presented at the Second Workshop on Understanding Work and Designing Artefacts: Design for Collaboration. Communities Constructing Technology at King's Manor, University of York (March 1999).
This paper presents a critical review of some of the claims made for CoPs. It will address questions such as "Are CoPs really suitable for use in a business setting?" and "Can a CoP ever be truly virtual?"
Review of "UNDERSTANDING THE BENEFITS AND IMPACT OF COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE" by Michael A. Fontaine and David R. Millen, Chapter 1 in Knowledge Networks: Innovation through Communities of Practice
Our society has focus on life-long learning, both formal and informal, and this might mean new challenges to the librarians. How do we facilitate knowledge sharing and knowledge creation among the users?
This paper aims at giving a more detailed description and discussion of two concepts of “community” developed in the research areas of text production/writing and social learning / information management / knowledge sharing and comparing them with ea
