If you have hundreds of user communities, you should have hundreds of portals. You can use web services to pull together custom, user-centered portals on top of all this information. And , then, you should also empower communities of practice to create their own portals as well. Tags: social strategy technology.

Building on the concept of communities of practice , Etienne Wenger (2009) has proposed a social theory of learning. The focus of this theory is “learning as social participation,” in which learners actively participate in the practices of social communities and construct personal identities in relation to these communities.

Companies are attracted by the low price tag. Consider what’s changed: We used to think that communities of practice could only sprout up organically. People communicate with texts, Tweets, iPhones, email, and blogs in their personal lives, and expect to be able to do so at work. The information explosion has hit.

What is curious though is that much of the discussion around Informal Learning seems to center on Communities of Practice. I personally think that there's a disconnect between the design and implementation of HPT solutions and the "free range" approach that many in the Informal Learning community take.
