1. Collaborative learning communities.
This is a situation where individuals or learners work together
to come up with new knowledge through the dynamic use of
social networking and collaboration technologies, just as the
name suggest this is a kind of learning where people who have
the same ideology and goals discuss and come up with a
common knowledge which will benefit them in various ways for
example the knowledge acquired through collaborative learning
can be helpful to an employed individuals since they will be
able to improve on their work from the knowledge they have
acquired from collaborative learning community. Generally
collaborative learning starts when individuals stop relying on
experts and teachers to get knowledge from them and starts
working together in engaging together in making sense and
creating meaning and for professionals who still study today,
the question isn't if building communities will deliver value to
the organization, but rather what kind of community is needed
and what the steps are in building it thereby bring in the
questions of how can it be done, hence there comes the drivers
to collaborative learning communities.
There are various drivers to collaborative learning communities
namely:
(a)it has been found out that approximately 70% of what
employees are required to know for the success of an
organization are learned outside of formal training, this is to
mean that apart from the general knowledge they have about the
job they do, there are additional training and further learning
they are suppose to have for example, an individual can add
more to his job through mentoring. Communities extend
learning by creating a structure whereby people can learn from
informal interactions.

2. (b.) Tacit knowledge -in a situation where you are new for job,
the informal knowledge about how things really get done around
here" and ultimately, how to be successful in one's job is
usually extremely difficult to capture, codify and deliver
through discrete learning objects and traditional training
programmable to be up-to-date about your new environment,
Communities are a way to elicit and share practical know-how
that would otherwise remain untapped which are mostly done
through interacting with your new work mates and learning
from their behaviors through observation.
(c.) Creating and structuring opportunities for people to
network, communicate, mentor, and learn from each other can
help capture, formalize, and disseminate tacit knowledge, and
thus accelerate learning and organizational effectiveness.
Communities become a boundary less container for knowledge
and relationships that can be used to increase individual
effectiveness and a company's overall competitive.
Schools( high schools and colleges) as a collaborate learning
community.
Generally the most important thing in collaborate learning
community is collaboration, and the focus in collaborate
learning community is learning whereby was found out that
apart from the knowledge students get from their teachers, they
are required to get some more outside the class apart from the
ones given by their tutors, therefore this is when collaborative
learning is needed, but for it to happen there must be some
major key factors that should drive an educator to engage
himself in collaborative learning community an these are: an
educators should have a sense of membership, influence,
fulfillment of individuals needs and lastly he should be able to
share events and emotional connections.

3. Therefore , the individuals involved in collaborative learning
must feel some sense of loyalty and belonging to the group that
he is that drives their desire to keep working and helping others
and most so the activities that the participant do should affect
what happened in the community, to mean that an active and not
just a reactive performance (influence). Apart from that, a
learning community must give the chance to the participants to
meet particular needs by expressing personal opinions, asking
for help or specific information and share stories of events with
particular issue included (emotional connections) emotional
experiences
Therefore, the most important thing that keeps collaborative
learning is the need to collaborate, this is to mean that the
educators should work together for common goals, partnership,
shared leadership, co-evolving and co-learning instead of
competing and isolating themselves. Unfortunately, with regards
to teachers, it is a bit difficult to practice collaborative
community because there is no way that teachers can share their
teaching lessons together because first it is difficult to them
and second, they cannot share a class together but all these can
be made possible by for example having a mentor, so that in-
case there are adjustments and skills of teaching that a teacher
needs to acquire, he will be able to have a chance to do that.
