  • An online community of practice (OCoP), also known as a virtual community of practice (VCoP), is a community of practice (CoP) that is developed on, and is maintained using the Internet. To qualify as an OCoP, the characteristics of a community of practice (CoP) as described by Lave and Wenger must be met. To this end, an OCoP must include active members who are practitioners, or "experts," in the specific domain of interest. Members must participate in a process of collective learning within their domain. Additionally, social structures must be created within the community to assist in knowledge creation and sharing. Knowledge must be shared and meaning negotiated within an appropriate context. Community members must learn through both instruction-based learning and group discourse. Finally, multiple dimensions must facilitate the long-term management of support as well as enable immediate synchronous interactions. To some, a VCoP is a misnomer as the original concept of a CoP was based around situated learning in a co-located setting. However, with increasing globalization and the continued growth of the Internet many now claim that virtual CoPs do exist (e.g. Dubé, Bourhis & Jacob, 2005; Murillo, 2006; Zarb, 2006; Hara & Hew, 2007; Murillo, 2008). For example, some claim that a wiki (such as Wikipedia) is a virtual CoP (Bryant, Forte & Bruckman, 2005), others argue that the essence of a community is that it is place-based – a community of place. There is also debate on the very term since the community is real though the form of communication is mostly, if not entirely, computer-mediated. Few believe that a community of practice may be formed without any face-to-face meetings whatsoever. In fact, many leading CoP thinkers stress the importance of such meetings. However some researchers argue that a VCoP's high use of ICT, changes some of its characteristics and introduces new complexities and ambiguities, thus justifying the creation of the term and area of study (Kim, 2004; Zarb, 2006). Some of the other terms used have been (in chronological order) online, computer-mediated (Etzioni & Etzioni, 1999), electronic (Wasko & Faraj, 2000) and distributed (Hildreth, Kimble & Wright, 1998). Wenger et al., 2002; Kimble & Hildreth, 2005.). As the mode of communication can involve face-to-face, telephone and letter, and the defining feature is its distributed nature. For a comparison between Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) with Distributed Communities of Practice (DCoP), see Couros & Kesten (2003). Recent research has produced evidence that increases in the sharing of tacit knowledge, which is very much inherent within CoP theory, may take place, albeit to a lesser degree, in a VCoP scenario even though such systems make use of written word (Zarb, 2006). This is spurring interest in what is sometimes referred to as community-driven knowledge management or community-based knowledge management, where CoP and VCoP theory is harnessed, nourished and supported within the broader organisational setting.

  • Виртуальное практическое сообщество (ВПС, англ. Virtual community of practice (VCoP) или англ. Online community of practice (OCoP)) — это деятельное сообщество, которое создаётся и поддерживается с использованием сети Интернет. Чтобы быть квалифицированным как виртуальное практическое сообщество, необходимо соответствовать характеристикам деятельного сообщества, описанным (англ. Jean Lave) и (англ. Étienne Wenger). С этой целью виртуальное практическое сообщество должно включать активных членов, которые являются практиками или экспертами в конкретной области интересов. Участники сообщества должны участвовать в процессе коллективного обучения в своей области. Кроме того, в сообществе должны быть созданы социальные структуры для содействия созданию знаний и обмену ими. Знания должны быть общими, а смыслы — согласованными в соответствующем контексте. Члены сообщества должны учиться как на основе инструкций, так и в групповых процессах. Наконец, многочисленные измерения должны способствовать долгосрочному управлению поддержкой, а также обеспечивать немедленное синхронное взаимодействие. Виртуальное практическое сообщество разработано и поддерживается с помощью сети Интернет. Это группа людей, объединённых общими интересами, профессией или хобби, которые общаются с помощью сети Интернет. Через общение люди получают или углубляют свои знания в сферах, которые им интересны.
