Abstract

In order to operate successfully, communities of practice (CoPs) require a number of resources and facilities made readily available to them. These facilities can come in both physical and virtual forms. In this article we look at these resources and facility requirements for success, and review the possibilities for technology support (software offerings) that can provide the virtual aspects of these facilities.
