TY - Type of reference TI - [FORTHCOMING] From Kolòn to Digital Making: A Collaborative Platform to support Innovation and co-designing in communities of practice AU - Valérie Payen Jean Baptiste AU - Kalliopi Benetos AU - Schallum Pierre AU - Diane-Gabrielle Tremblay AU - Laurent Moccozet AU - Valéry Psyché AU - Jocelyne Kiss AU - Giulia Ortolova AB - This research presents an innovative digital platform that combines the Haitian kolòn model with communities of practice theory to support projects’ co-design and collaborative learning in maker spaces. Build on a study involving 57 participants and five international maker communities, this platform has been designed to facilitate peer learning and skills development through a distributed mentoring system. Our results show significant improvements in collaborative capabilities and project success rates. The results highlight the co-creation process of a technological solution centered on a community-based, collaborative and inclusive approach. This work contributes to advancing Innovation and skills development in the field of digital fabrication by providing a framework for ‘learning by making together’ that bridges virtual and physical maker spaces.
