چکیده
This paper presents the results from a study on issues for sociability and usability for legitimate peripheral participation in online communities. Informal learning is considered to occur within the individual in a selforganized way and within the community as consensus knowledge building. A catalogue for usability and sociability evaluation criteria was developed, in order to identify the twofold informal learning as well as consensus knowledge building, to investigate sociability and usability supporting contribution and evaluate the evaluation criteria. Fourteen Greek teachers with a special interest in ICT in Education participated in the study. The findings identified and described mechanisms and strategies for legitimate peripheral participation with contribution as the target as well supported the usability evaluation criteria for online communities.
