3 Developing learning community
Description:
Learning communities form and share knowledge on the basis of pull by the members not by the push of the information. This means that the community will seek the information it needs to transform it into knowledge but it may not accept information, which is thrust upon it. It is not necessary for every member of a collaborative community to have the knowledge, however everyone must have access to the knowledge when it is necessary to complete the tasks of the community. Documents and communities interpenetrate. Some in the community will have access and will share with others when information is needed. See a paper on online communities at http://www.partnerships.org.uk/ukco/prospect.html.
