From PALETTE to STELLAR
• PALETTE IP (2006-2008)Facilitating and augmenting individual and organizational learning in Communities of Practice (CoPs) • http://palette.ercim.org
• STELLAR NoEWP4: Building Next Generation CapacityInstruments: Doctoral Academy Events, Scholarships for mobility, and Doctoral Community of Practice (DoCoP)

The DoCoP
• PhD students, PhD advisors and experts in TEL share research practice and learn from each other
• Reduce isolation• Establish co-coaching• Enable sharing of testbeds• …

Lessons Learned from PALETTE
• CoP practice and interaction modes continuously evolve over time and in context (from simple social interaction to advanced collaborative activities)
• Integration of CoP members is (and has to be) progressive (from passive guest to active contributor and possibly facilitator) • Privacy !
• Roles continuously evolve and depend on activities (someone can be an expert in a context and a novice in another)
5
Lessons Learned from PALETTE
• Integration of CoP services is (and has to be) progressive and non-invasive (work across members’ personal and professional IT contexts)
• Online spaces and their personalization strongly contribute to the building of the CoP identity and the sense of belonging
• Online spaces and environments (Web 2.0)are boundary objects for the negotiation of usefulness between providers and members (CoP & Service Mediators)
6
Lessons Learned from PALETTE
• Utility, usability, acceptability, and maybe adoption• Do not disappoint members once, you will lose
them forever• CoP activity is always a side activity (not so much
time to invest, quick adoption necessary)• Members have some expectations, they do not
know necessarily the tools to support them • Elicitation of requirements• Detection of passionate members to support the
activity momentum
7
Lessons Learned from PALETTE
• Value all contributions (incentive)• Unobtrusive information and awareness delivery• Unobtrusive and contextual notifications• Ubiquitous access for mobile clients• Responsiveness in context and fitness for
purpose• CoPs are informal social networks and informal
learning opportunity providers• CoPs operate and grow via a careful combination
