According to Etienne Wenger,communities of practice are groups of people who share a passion for something they do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better.
Communities of practice define themselves along three dimensions: what they are about, how they function, and what capabilities they produce.
Each community of practice has a unique domain, community, and practice (and the support it requires). But, in connecting and collecting, communities of practice share the following common characteristics:
• They are peer-to-peer collaborative networks.
• They are driven by the willing participation of their members.
• They are focused on learning and building capacity.
• They are engaged in sharing knowledge, developing expertise, and solving problems. Sitio Web (URL): http://www.adb.org/Documents/Information/Knowledge-Solutions/catalog.asp Autor(es): Olivier Serrat
