"The key elements of such communities for learning are:
Connect people through meaningful activity, tasks and challenges – student to student, student to faculty, student to others around the world, students to knowledge resources.
Provide a shared context for people to communicate and share information, evidence, cases, and personal experiences in a way that builds understanding and insight.
Enable dialogue between people who come together to learn, explore new knowledge and skills, solve challenging problems, and create new, mutually beneficial opportunities.
Stimulate learning by serving as a vehicle for authentic communication, mentoring, coaching, formative assessment and self-reflection.
Capture and diffuse existing knowledge to help people improve their practice by providing a forum to identify solutions to common problems and a process to collect and evaluate best practices.
Introduce collaborative processes to student groups, as well as between students and other organizations, to encourage the free flow of ideas and exchange of information.
Help students organize around purposeful actions that deliver tangible learning outcomes.
Generate new knowledge to help people transform their practice to accommodate changes in needs and technologies."
