Knowledge Communities build credibility through activity, consistency, and the quality of knowledge generated. It is important to note that the concept of Knowledge Communities is more than information and dissemination thereof: Knowledge Communities are about gathering and generating information in a specific interest area; discussing the information; looking for examples of practicing the information; and critiquing, evaluating, and making some judgment about the worthiness of findings before disseminating findings as knowledge.
Participation in Knowledge Communities is open to any NASPA member. Find out about any of the 24 NASPA Knowledge Communities by following the links in the left-hand navigation.
