Scaffolding Educational Community of Practice Using Visual Storytelling

This paper presents the transition from single socio-educational projects to educational community of practice. Visual storytelling augmented with sociograms helps community contributors to understand the social structure of interaction which in many respects is determining the success of collaboration. Using a combination of logfile analysis and social network analysis, we have gained insights into the effective design of a collaborative documents improvement system, which fosters the creation and growth of community of practice.
