Hey Ilhan! I was just in Indonesia last week - you weren't at the Coworking Asia conference by chance were you?
I've looked at learning commons quite a bit, mostly in my research about libraries and creating programmable environments for learning. More specifically though, I think there's something really interesting in your question about the overlap between learning commons and Coworking communities. One of the distinctions I've drawn is that while many communities gather around interests, the most successful coworking communities form as communities of practice. In that way, I actually think it's hard to find a thriving coworking community that ISNT also a learning community and that the #1 source of learning isn't necessarily formal instructors but peer to peer exhange among community members. That's an important thing to notice. One of my favorite episodes of my podcast is with a longtime Indy Hall member who is a learning researcher, and we talked a LOT about this topic. Check it out, I think you'll find our conversation relevant to your studies: http://listen.coworkingweekly.com/episodes/5508-ep3-on-the-stack-with-alex-hillman-vanessa-gennarelli Enjoy and let me know what you think :) -Alex On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Ilham Basya <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear awesome coworking community, > > > My name is Basya, I am from Indonesia.
