The growth of the World Wide Web seems to have placed knowledge at our
fingertips, available anywhere at anytime. But knowledge is more than just
information; it has a social life. Over the past twenty years, computer
scientists and historians of science have explored the crucial ways in
which learning depends on people working together in communities of
practice, sharing what they know through how they know it and how they
bring it to bear of problems of common interest.
