"Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about." "" Cory Doctorow
How can design address the increasing demand for collaborative work, meaningful conversation and social connection? In this presentation, Andrew will explore how "Community of Practice" is more than just a 90s knowledge-management buzz-phrase. He will argue that it is an important model for understanding group behavior "" and one that is becoming crucial to designing in the age of Wikipedia, MySpace and YouTube.
Andrew will provide an essential understanding of "communities of practice" and will look at information architecture as a handy example. He will also examine how the concept helps designers in planning for a variety of collaborative environments "" from intranets and medical forums to multiplayer games.
