Knowledge Building Communities
A Knowledge Building Community (KBC) is a community in which the primary goal is knowledge creation rather than the construction of specific products or the completion of tasks. This notion is fundamental in Knowledge building theory. If knowledge is not realized for a community than we do not have knowledge building. Examples of KBCs are
- Classrooms
- Academic research teams
- Modern management companies
- Modern business R&D groups
- Wikipedia (Wikimedia Foundation together with its millions of Wikipedians)
