abstract |
Knowledge Management (KM) and knowledge sharing are important factors that support
lifelong learning, and enable people to continue developing throughout their careers.
The concept of a Community of Practice (Wenger, 2000) is attractive in drawing together
people whose work shares similar aspects, and consideration is given here to how technology
can be used to develop and support such a community.
In this paper, concepts from the Community of Practice literature are used to consider
the development of a software environment for people working as a community in the
area of lifelong learning. The intention was to design the system in an evolutionary
way, using a minimal set of essential elements which would be elaborated according
to user feedback. Three key design questions are considered: Who can contribute resources
to such a system? What happens to existing practices? How is the community engaged?
We conclude that, in lifelong learning, knowledge management supported by a software
environment offers a good way to bring together communities, resources and experience,
but to achieve these benefits, great care needs to be exerted in introducing the system
and maintaining existing work practices. |
