Abstract

The Web Resource Collaboration Center (WRCC) is a web-based tool developed to help software engineers build their own web-based learning and performance support systems. Designed using various online communication and collaboration technologies, the WRCC enables people to: (1) build a learning and professional development resource that provides them with immediate support and guidance; (2) develop structure, strategies and skills for subsequent learning and professional development activities; (3) strengthen their ties to the larger communities of practice in the domain while building a local learning community: and (4) take responsibility for creating original resources that support their learning and the learning of other members of the larger and local communities of practice. This article describes the WRCC, the situation that led to its development and the foundations on which it was developed. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.)
