Comments
  • A comprehensive article that examines ideas of "collective responsibility" of knowledge building communities using examples of expert teams in surgical units, whaling crews and classroom settings.
  • Particularly insightful are the 12 socio-cognitive and technological determinants of knowledge building. These are helpful criteria to analyse knowledge communities and interpret their dynamics. In this case they are using Knowledge Forum software but can be applied to other technologies (eg.wiki) used for knowledge building.
