Advice Requested re: CoP

Hi Mark, Nancy pointed you in some excellent directions. I've only a few to add... We have a currculum of new online community management courses at CommunityPeople.net. They are self-paced, comprehensive and interactive so they're fairly intense. Feel free to contact me off the list if you need any assistance with them. http://www.communitypeople.net It sounds like you've already read all the books out there - reading and doing are quite different. Nancy is quite right about joining the listservs she mentioned. It will help you quite a bit. The good news is, it's a totally fun profession (99% of the time)! :) I'm happy to help you as needed, Rebecca Newton CommunityPeople.net rebecca(a)communitypeople.net

In addition to the resources that Nancy White suggested to Mark Tempestilli [SMTP:tempesti@usna.edu], I would suggest: * Practitioners at companycommand.com and platoonleader.org. Particularly relevant because they're thinking big picture AND just doing it (if not on a shoe-string then being thoughtful about cost and scaling issues). * Come to think of it Nate Allen, from West Point, is representing the Army guys who are developing those sites on a panel and at other events that Bronwyn Stuckey and I have organized about Communities of Practice at http://www.aace.org/conf/elearn/. Etienne Wenger is giving a keynote on Friday morning October 18th and we're organizing conversations before and after that. Write to me directly if you're going to be at this AACE conference. In addition to a SIG / keynote / 2 panel discussions and some technology demos, we're organizing some social time and extended conversations. John --* --* John D.

I'd point you to a few resources: Etienne Wenger and John Smith's online course on CoPs http://www.cpsquare.com/edu/foundations/index.htm My online course on online facilitation http://www.fullcirc.com/ws/onfaccourse.htm The Com-Prac http://groups.yahoo.com/group/com-prac/?yguid=2593993 and Onlinefacilitation http://www.fullcirc.com/ws/onfaccourse.htm lists on yahoogroups http://www.fullcirc.com/community/communitymanual.htm Wenger, Snyder, McDermot's new book, Cultivating Communities of Practice I have more links, but this is probably a good start. Holler if you want more! This is certainly an emerging field. You may also want to see if you can get access to the DoD online CoP on CoPs as there are a number of facilitators of distributed CoPs in that group.

Dear Sirs, I am writing on behalf of www.cholonautas.edu.pe, a specializad web site on Social Sciences and Humanities, which a group of young Peruvian academics launched last year in order to bridge the gap between Private and State universities in the highlands of Peru. We would be really grateful if you could tell us which organizations or academic institutions provide funding for IT experiences in developing countries. So far the experience with cholonautas has been really worthwhile as a lot of university students have benefitted from the services in our web site. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Lourdes Hurtado Anthropologist Instituto de Estudios Peruanos

Fellows, I am in search of advice on finding and hiring people to manage/lead/facilitate an on-line community of practice. I am assigned to the US Naval Academy and we are considering establishing an on-line community in the theme of emerging information age naval operations. The goals of the community would be: 1. provide a "place" where thematically-focused intellectual capital can be shared and built 2. connect widespread interested and involved parties from across organizational boundaries to collaborate on designated projects, especially research and design projects related to information age naval operations 3. induce and accelerate a cultural shift at the Naval Academy from industrial age thinking, teaching, and learning to information age same I have read many papers, books, etc on the subject and am now looking for those directly attached to the issue that can provide first hand advice and brief discussion. Can anyone provide advice, primarily in the skills and qualifications needed by a CoP manager/leader/facilitator of this nature, or point me at good reference people regarding this? Sincerely, Mark Tempestilli Captain, US Navy Director of Network Centric Warfare United States Naval Academy 290 Buchanan Rd Annapolis, MD 21402 phone: 410-293-1458
