Preview Learning in Communities: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Human Centered Information Technology

Description:
Most learning takes place in communities. People continually learn through their participation with others in everyday activities.

We need to live in learning communities.This collection of papers is not the definitive summary of learning in communities. It is assuredly more prolegomena than coda. Learning is increasingly recognized as a critical facet of lifetime activity, one that must become better integrated with all that people do.

The promise of learning in communities lies ahead of us. This set of essays intends to propel us all along that path.
