Goal: The project idea was to explore what it means to have 'legitimate peripheral participants' in a CoP, and strategies to promote this idea when establishing a CoP - to overcome reluctance to commit because of fears of increased workload, and also to explore the literature in this area. Download file The project ran over a three-week period as one component of a seven-week online workshop on Foundations of Communities of Practice, second trimester 2003. The project leader initiated the project topic and members of the workshop were invited to join the project team and participate in the planned activities and goals. Each team member contributed to the discussion (which was open to all workshop participants) and nominated to prepare final summary documents. Bronwyn Stuckey facilitated the project operation and also took part in the finale preparation of the project report. A project summary was prepared by the project leader.
