Simply, learning is the process of moving from not knowing to knowing. The ‘social’ aspect of the
learning relies upon human interaction. Therefore, social learning is constructed from conversations and
participation within a CoP.
It is about ‘how’ members learn, rather than the content or ‘what’ they learn.
The CoP supports the apprentice by interacting regularly, sharing tales and
experiences. Social Learning within a community is ‘learning about a subject’ as well as ‘learning to be
a full participant’. The shared passion and the interaction engages the learner and enables them to
acquire deep knowledge about a subject and the ability to participate in the community through
productive enquiry and social interaction

Learning can take place independently of physical distance between students and teachers
Teachers face the challenge of meeting learner expectations at a distance as highlighted by
Cantelon; “most of higher education will take place off-campus through technological methods of
delivery” [6]. Distance learning is already a part of everyday life for most educational institutions,
recognizing the problems and addressing them will be critical to the success of distance learning in the
future, particularly as demand increase
One of the main advantages of a CoP aside from the potential social learning, is the ‘community’ itself.
The community will help reduce the problems of isolation and alienation by bringing together students enabling them to share and discuss their concerns. Thus, a CoP provides the students with
a highly interactive space to develop electronic connectedness. This connectedness allows the students
to form relationships, interact socially and generally create the ‘scholarly community’ that has
reportedly been lacking in many of the distance programs delivered to date.
he facilitation of communication and social interaction will also help to minimize the perceived lack
of contact or feedback as the CoP will restore the communication link
CoP facilitate social learning as a result of the active participation and community members can learn
from interacting and observing other people. As a student, one is likely to pick up valuable knowledge
from discussing the subject with friends as well as they could from sitting through hours of lectures.
Participation is the process of being active in the practice of the community and constructing identities
in relation to these communities
Teacher professional development is no longer synonymous with acquiring new teaching techniques, it is rather about starting new processes as to engage with new forms of learning, reflected in the practice of teaching
