Communities of practice:a central type of social learning
space
In gangs… they learn to survive on the streets
In organizations… they provide better service to clients
A community of practice is ...
… a self-governed learning partnership among people, who
• share challenges, passion or interest
• interact regularly
• learn from and with each other
improve their ability to do what they care about
