| In
order to efectively activate the APEC Learning Community,
it is necessary to select "APEC Learning Community Builders
(ALCoB)" who will help to bridge the knowledge divide,
enhance knowledge capacity, and promote human exchange in
APEC economies. ALCoB are the core members of ALCom who are
qualified teachers, learners, and supporters selected from
each economy. They are the pioneers of ALCom who will establish
a learning community and will continue to develop and maintain
the community. They will play a role as the key contact persons
who voluntarily organize and perform on their own with a new
vision of the future of education in APEC.

Sharing Know-how: ALCoB On-line Community
Virtual space for all kinds of online activities such as sharing
of information and knowledge, forming cells or groups, proposing
cooperative work, carrying out research work, and engaging
in social cell-chatting.
Studying Together : ALCoB are encouraged
to do academic research, analyses of ALCom projects or comparative
research projects in ALCom and evaluation and consultation
of projects at their own level through the ALCoBzine ( ) or
Asia Pacific Cybereducation Journal (APCJ, ) .
Making Own Projects : Autonomy and ownership
for the project are the greatest values of the ALCoB. Members
are encouraged to make their own proposals of interest and
invite others to join in implementing their own projects.
Making Friends : human exchanges through
on-line and off-line meetings
Face-to-face meetings are still valued in APEC Learning Community
and human exchanges are still key factors of ALCoB activities.
Human exchange opportunities will be expanded to ALCoB learners
from ALCoB teachers, and it will bring more ALCoB supporters
to join in the APEC Learning Community for Shared Prosperity.
