Working in collaboration with panels of Ableton Live professionals and scholarly experts in fields related to the study the researcher developed a model for an online music community of practice for users of the music production and performance software Ableton Live. The model for an online music community of practice that this study developed proposes the design of a virtual community that provides its members with an improved learning, communication and collaboration experience over currently available alternatives. This is achieved through an all-inclusive, simple, clean user interface that provides members with all the communication and collaboration tools necessary to successfully collaborate online. The model’s design also stresses the importance of providing new members of the community with adequate scaffolding in the form of tutorials. These tutorials teach members how to successfully use all the communication and collaboration tools provided by the site. This scaffolding support system is a key component of any community of practices’ success. It helps facilitate the new members’ transition from new, and inexperienced user to expert. Facilitating this transition is also beneficial to the community as a whole because it helps raise the communal knowledge base. The more experts available in the community, the more knowledge can be transferred between community members.
