    This article does a good job introducing what a CoP is and also identifies the importance of domain, community, and practice. This resource goes one step further by discussing how CoPs go about developing their practice. These methods include problem-solving, request for information and seeking help from others. They also discuss motivation within a CoP. Members engage in social participation. This social participation helps them shape their identity and they are motivated to become closer to the middle of the community so they can be more like the members they idealize. I like this article because it reinforces the main principles of CoPs and it discusses the motivators for members of the community.
