Abstract
Problem statement: Recently, online Communities of Practice have become a very popular teaching method in teachers' professional development. However, keeping teachers active in these learning environments is a very challenging process. Therefore, investigating this challenge is critical for designing effective online Community of Practice (oCoP) environments for teachers' professional development.
