Learning in Distributed Constructionist Cooperatives

 

A Constructionist Cooperative is a community that shares its expertise via a "knowledge repository" to facilitate richer individual project development. Inherent in this notion of constructionist cooperative is the idea of the community generating the relevant content.  
  Pearls of Wisdom (POW) is a suite of computational tools that supports and sustains constructionist cooperatives through asynchronous creation of individual know-how for sharing with the larger community.
How can we leverage technology to support the sharing of knowledge contained within a learning community?
