It may help some people understand how to cultivate the community. | ID REFLECTIONS AUGUST 16, 2011 5 Questions to Ask When Setting up Communities While the terms community management and community manager are more popular, I have never found them very comfortable to use. It is perhaps to do with the word management --which reeks of Taylorism, hierarchy, command and control--all the connotations that to me are anathema to creating a sense of belonging, infusing passion, and leading. am happier with community leadership or community facilitation. will leave the deconstruction of the word for another post. And of course there are the sceptics--the quiet and the vociferous. | TONY KARRER DELICIOUS LINKS NOVEMBER 19, 2009 Communities of Practice practice communities of practice The idea that learning involves a deepening process of participation in a community of practice has gained significant ground in recent years.

LEARNING IN A SANDBOX | MONDAY, AUGUST 30, 2010 Dimensions of a community of practice
