21 世紀是知識經濟的時代，知識已經取代資本、土地與勞力，成為組織競爭最重要的資源。因此組織透過實務社群的運作，有效率地發展知識管理，使其轉化為競爭的利器。
然而，知識管理不侷限在企業組織中，也可以在其他地方，例如學校，況且學校是創新知識的主要發源地。有鑑於此，本研究旨在應用實務社群與知識管理，發展學校社群系統，期望學校組織內的社群，其成員皆能夠促動知識的累積與分享的同時，教師也可以管理社群。所以，建構線上知識互動的社群環境於學校成員上，其主要目的是在於提昇成員在知識分享與溝通互動進行的品質與效率，以及設計適合學校成員的社群系統架構與功能，塑造學校整體智性的成長。
本研究的研究方法主要為系統展示法，在系統驗証時採用個案系統實作並深入訪談分析，得到以下結論：(1) 本系統結合社群活動流程有助於其活動之運作；(2) Web-based與多媒體的環境提高使用者應用學校社群系統的意願；(3) 有效的知識互動機制與知識分享，能有效地解決實務問題；(4) 社群系統運作需要社群領導者以身作則的支持；(5) 提供的社群統計資訊，有助於領導者系統化地設計安排社群活動；(6) 系統可以方便彼此連結成員之需求，同時聚焦於共同利益目標上。
本研究對實務界的建議有兩點：(1) 知識共享共識建立，同仁可相互學習與交流專業知識，以解決技術或專業的問題；(2) 實務社群與工作任務連結的中的重要性，使成員在便利的工作環境下，朝共通及明確的目標邁進。

Twenty-one century is a knowledge-economy age. Knowledge has replaced capital,land and labors; it becomes the most important resource of competition. With Community of Practice, The enterprise that can develop knowledge management effectively will gain an advantage of competition over others.
However, KM is no longer to be confined within enterprises. Therefore, the aim of this study is to apply CoP to develop school community portal. In this system, students can share, accumulate knowledge and teachers can be empowered to manage community autonomously. The main purpose of this study is to design CoP for the school members in order to improve the efficiency, by enhancing knowledge sharing, group interaction and growth of the whole school.
This study applies the system display method of the Deduction, and in-depth interviews for data collections. Author found the following findings: (1) The community members in which functions are designed to facilitate the process is helpful to structure member’s activities; (2) The Web-based environment encourages users to use the community school system on their activities; (3) This system provides effective group interaction mechanism and knowledge sharing process to solve their problems; (4) It requires high commitment and support form community leaders; (5) This system which provides the statistic information benefits leader to arrange community activity systematically; (6) It is useful to connects community members’ demands and focus their collective purpose.

This research has two suggestions: (1) Establish the consensus of knowledge sharing for users; (2) Link the functions of the CoP with work activities.
