Week 10 Interactive and Collaborative Learning

Another interesting topic this week.

It came at a time when I have been exploring communities of practice. I'd read several articles on CoPs as part of my mid-term assignment and found quantitative evidence of the benefits of CoPs. One involved a construction company building a bridge across the sea between Denmark and Sweden. They measured the momentum of quality issues as an indication of the effectiveness of CoPs and found direct correlation with declining quality issues and CoPs. Neat!

I see this as one result of collaboration and learning.

I wonder how to adapt this to virtual CoPs, those that don't have a face to face element?
