  This website discusses the learning theory of Lave and Wenger. This website discusses how communities of practice are a way to improve knowledge. They state, "People see [communities of practice] as ways of promoting innovation, developing social capital, facilitating and spreading knowledge within a group, spreading existing tacit knowledge, etc." This statement really encapsulates what I think a community of practice is.
  
  The article continues by defining communities of practice stating, "Communities of Practice can be defined, in part, as a process of social learning that occurs when people who have a common interest in a subject or area collaborate over an extended period of time, sharing ideas and strategies, determine solutions, and build innovations." This seems to be a great definition. People working toward a common goal or interest are able to share through an online medium.
