There was a Comunities of Practice workshop on Friday folowing the CPE conference with Etienne Wenger.
He shared a neat new diagram developed with Nancy White and John Smith, addressing the tensions inherent in community life (for example the individual vs the group), and how different technologies can assist in managing the tension. It is a work in progress, but it has got great potential to open windows and shed some light – as well as helping define the appropriate portfolios of e-tools for a given group.
