This article reports on a case study investigating the learning outcomes of a cross-institutional innovation project based on an integrated approach of SOAP. More specifically, this study aims to investigate the individual and organisational learning outcomes of SOAP-inspired knowledge communities based on partnerships among educational institutes. There were 37 participants in the study who had had different backgrounds and worked within inter- and intra-institutional arrangements. The authors conclude that participants valued the collaboration as well as the inter- and intra-institutional nature of the innovation project, which led to many reported instances of individual and organizational learning.
