Carlos Eduardo Ribeiro and Claudia Mont’Alvão

Abstract— Present the development process of the redesign of the interface and the functionality of the system Communities of Practice Platform – CoPPla. A generic platform developed in Plone, a content management system (CMS) free and open source, written in Python for construction of virtual communities of practice. Offers a series of integrated communication and collaboration tools in an environment focused on knowledge sharing, where content creation and manipulation of objects is flexible and intuitive. It is mainly used as a support tool of permanent education in health projects. In 2012 the improvement of its functionality started and the redesign of the interface by applying concepts of user-centered design, ergonomics and usability.

Index Terms— Interaction design, communities of practice, permanent education in health, knowledge management.
