Specifically learning in a group.

Uncle Wiki, a story?
UW: Thank you
Once Upon a Time, back in the 1990s specifically,
At the Xerox corporation, customer service representatives at lunch.
CK: (off-camera – interrupts) Can we hurry this up?
UW: (pause and looks annoyed) Yesss.
They would talk about how to fix different problems that they encountered.
Eventually, Xerox saw the value of these interactions and created the Eureka project.
Thriving today, the Eureka project is a community of practice that has saved the company more than $100 million dollars in service costs.
CK: (off-camera) Thanks Uncle Dubs
UW: You’re welcome (exits)
CK: A community of practice has to have 3 elements
A domain which is the shared learning need or purpose
A community meaning people are bonded together through interaction in-person or online.
And a practice, where the members learn how to do things better.
So you tell me–Can you think of other Community’s of Practice?
I want to hear about them. I’m so excited about this. I want to hear your versions of them.
