Abstract :
This paper focuses on Did@cTIC, a CoP of university teachers, and addresses the issue of capitalizing their teaching experience as well as that of reifying their practices in the form of structured documents. This paper first presents the theoretical framework describing the reification process along with the instrumental approach for tool development. Then, the contextual background and the reification scenario with its tailored tools are presented. In the third and final part, the results from the reification scenario trial and the tools used in the trial are discussed.
