AquaED - Connecting Aquaculture Educators and Industry. Communities of Practice: just another buzz word? This week I went to a workshop led by Etienne Wenger about communities of practice.
Etienne was one of the first people to come up with the concept of 'community of practice', which is a "group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly". In other words, learning is essentially a social activity facilitated all the more effectively if it is shared with people. 47 Awesome Twitter Tools You Should be Using.
