Forexample, many disciplines have a top tier journal as an ongoing artifact that helps to orient theircommunity members around important shared ideas.With this framework in mind, we designed a social learning system for our REU program aroundthe practices of engineering and Wenger’s11 community building elements. We expected thissocial learning system to be a more accessible CoP to REU students within the larger communityof practice of photovoltaic (PV) engineers; we can think of this as a smaller CoP within a largerCoP. The REU practices were defined by the larger community, but we
