On my way to a meeting of the OECD Open Education Resources project. My weather widget tells me it is minus 15 degrees (mind the weather widget is not to be relied on).
Anyway before I go - I am posting the presentation I made together with Julia Silies at the first meeting of the Bazaar project last week.
The presentation, called "Developing an Architecture of Participation", looks at how we can use ICT to support the development of communities of practice. Nothing new in that , you might say. But the real point is that many projects talk about communities of practice. Few actually develop anything resembling a community, let alone a community based on practice.
So I think we need to re-examine the ideas behind communities of practice (the first four slides are all from Etienne Wenger's web site) and consider how these ideas are applicable (or not).
I was not there for the presentation but it seems it sparked a long and useful discussion. Hopefully Sara or Julia will post the main points coming out of that discussion.
