Abstract

The importance of educational models that support learning in the digital age seems to be modestly explored in academic research communities. In 2004, Hewitt explores the concept of knowledge building community in his book Designing for Virtual Communities in the Service of Learning, and defines it as a type of CoP that integrates the following characteristics: (i) sharing of knowledge, values and beliefs; (ii) common points of coexistence among members; (iii) mutual interdependence; (iv) mechanisms for reproduction; (v) common practices; (vi) opportunities for interaction and participation; (vii) significant personal relationships; and (viii) respect for different perspectives and minorities (Hewitt 2004).
