Description
Summary:	Online Practice Communities promote learning through mutual commitment and continuous communication among people facing a common goal. The research presented in this communication is based on an Educational Innovation Project at a college level where an Online Practice Community was created for the development of a subject in an undergraduate program. The research analyzes two variables that influence a learner's development within the OPC: usefulness and satisfaction. A result worth highlighting is the relationship between a student's perceived usefulness of the Online Practice Community and their satisfaction with the assignments given to them.
