In this paper, a general model for the Interconnection of Communities of Practice ICP is proposed. This model creates links between local Communities of Practice CoPs and global Communities of Practice on the Web. To hit the target platform specifications to support an ICP are first of all proposed, soon after the TE-Cap 2 Tutoring Experience Capitalisation platform for an ICP of tutors is made up to support people working on it. This platform allows the capitalisation of tutors' contextualised knowledge by making it easily retrievable from all the tutors in their daily practice. At last a descriptive investigation over a four-month period and forty-two users registered on the platform is conducted. Results presented in this paper concern the usability of the platform and the relevance of the model with regard to tutors' needs.
