The method applied was cyber-ethnography with asynchronous observation (forum and wiki) and synchronous discussions (webconference) for analysing skills developed by a co-learning community. This study focuses on participants from different countries who interacted during nine months in two open platforms: the massive educational portal EDUCARED of the “7th International Conference on Education 2012-2013" and weSPOT, an European “Working Environment with Social Personal and Open Technologies for inquiry based learning”. As a result of this study, it was observed that the EDUCARED portal led to the development of more explicit digital literacies, possibly because it was a simpler and familiar interface (forum). And in the weSPOT environment, experienced participants with digital technologies had more opportunities to develop other skills related to Critical-Creative Thinking and Scientific Reasoning.20152015/03Open Praxis7183-20110.5944/openpraxis.7.1.174http://openpraxis.org/index.php/OpenPraxis/article/view/1742304-070Xyesco-inquiryco-learningELGG platformNING platformskillssocial networkingExplorationOfTechnologiesAvailable_OER.pdfExplorationOfTechnologiesAvailable_OER.pdf174-822-2-PB.pdfhttp://openpraxis.org/index.php/OpenPraxis/article/view/174
