Berkley labs Training and Development Online Communities of Practice (OCoP) Project Joanne Deitsch OMDE 610 Section 9040 10-November-2013
Introduction [1 of 2] (Berkeley Lab, 2011) • Organization • OCoP History • OCoP Success Factors • Contextual Indicators • Social and Intellectual Indicators • Distance Education (DE) Theory • Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) • Function • Knowledge Building • Assessing OCoP Success
Introduction [2 of 2] Examining the Training and Development OCoP against the OCL Theory aids understanding about how to assess OCoPs. This is important as assessing digital artifacts comprises an important skill for 21st century workers.
Organization • Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab, n.d) • Founded 1931 • In 1939, Lawrence won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics for inventing a unique particle accelerator called a cyclotron • After Lawrence’s death in 1959, the lab renamed after him (Berkeley Lab, 2011) (Berkeley Lab, n.d.)
OCoP History • Training and Development OCoP(Berkeley Lab, 2011; Berkeley Lab, 2012) • Founded in 2010 • Targeted for training and employee development professionals • Shares best practices, knowledge, materials • Professional OCoP • https://commons.lbl.gov/display/training/Home (Berkeley Lab, 2011)
OCoP Success FactorsContextual Indicators [1 of 2] • “the setting and the pulse” (Harasim, 2011, p. 162) • Existence of active core group (Harasim, 2011) (Berkeley Lab, 2013b)
OCoP Success FactorsContextual Indicators [2 of 2] • Participation (Harasim, 2011) (Berkeley Lab, 2013a)
OCoP Success FactorsSocial and Intellectual Indicators (Berkeley Lab, 2013a) (Berkeley Lab, 2013c)
DE Theory “Online Collaborative Learning (OCL) is proposed here as a new theory of learning that focuses on collaborative learning, knowledge building, and Internet use as a means to reshape formal, nonformal and informal education for the Knowledge Age” (Harasim, 2011, p. 81). (Harasim, 2011)
Functioning • “Voluntary association online of professionals” (Harasim, 2011, p. 150) • “Come together intentionally, actively and regularly for mutual gain and collective value” (Harasim, 2011, p. 150)
Knowledge Building Contribution • Sidebar • “tools, documents, and processes” (Harasim, 2011, p. 143) (Berkeley Lab, 2011)
Assessing OCoP Success (Harasim, 2011) • Contextual Indicators • Social and Intellectual Indicators • Procedural Indicators • Technological Indicators
