Comunità di apprendimento?

Ostwald (1996) defined a community of practice as
“A group of practitioners involved in a common activity, albeit performing different
roles. Essential characteristics of communities of practice are: 1) they are not defined by
organizational mandate (e.g., the “org chart”), but rather by the ways people actually
work together, 2) they involve many different roles, as opposed to a flat structure, and 3)
they experience an ongoing flux of community members, who enter the community from
the periphery and gain status as knowledgeable members through participation in the
community of practice.”

Members of a community of practice have 1) the freedom to participate, 2) the freedom to join or
to leave the group, and 3) they have an interest in the creation or sharing of knowledge (Baily &
Hendrickson, 2004; Davenport & Prusak, 1998)

Opened, Week X

This is the “Week X” post. Why? Because this is the Week X of the course.
The week X is, for me, the week that neither students nor teachers nor tutors would like to “meet”, but it happens.
In the week X you feel frustration and disappointment.
Frustration is relate to a lack of feedback from your teacher/tutor/mentor.
Where is the beautiful relationship made of glances and smiles and jokes and smell after a hot morning in the classroom? Online teachers/tutors/mentors, did you ever think about this human aspect?
Disappointment arise from the awareness that more or less 40 people all around the world are reading things and writing about them but don’t build up any social network.
We are doing our “homeworks”, for sure reading some posts by someoneelse … but then?
I would like to get in touch with some of you, know who you are, what are your dreams, needs, faces…
I would like to get some feedback from Wiley!
David, if you are there knock the door!!!!
Please!!!!
