Abstract

Communities arise from the need to communicate and share information. The present study intends to facilitate an open community where users are concerned or passionate about a subject and are willing to collaborate with other members by sharing their related knowledge. Based on the theoretical concept of community of practice and using a technological hybrid approach, this work proposes a community sharing platform for mobile devices. Introducing two case scenarios, this paper reveals possible application usages to better describe platform's features. Some of the technological decisions are described.
