Hello, I just stumbled upon this blog and am curious to learn about when the guidebook is expected to be finished and whether it will be public to all?
I am setting up a virtual CoP within my organisation.

Kind regards,
Lonneke

Hi Gill,
I would love to hear about your experience. I am teaching entirely online (MSc programmes) and we are keen to benefit from new experiences gained in the last two years. Co-incidentally I am also in Manchester (not Uni), but working globally.
All the best
Katie Reed

In reply to Catherine Oliver. We are preparing a guidebook for communities of practice. It should be ready by the end of the year.

I am based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I have teaching qualifications and experience in both secondary and tertiary education. Having obtained a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics through distance learning at Victoria University of Wellington, I continue my learning online working with those for whom English is not their first language.
Communities of Practice is an integral component as this learning takes place through a pandemic – no longer able to work face to face – exciting new challenges emerge.

what a great idea!

I recently became involved in an initiative where we are going to create an eCoP for participants to engage with one another.

Cheers for now

Comment on What is a community of practice? by Martin Carnap

In reply to Bev Wenger-Trayner.

Hi Bev and Solveig,
it starts with the determination of objectives. In the traditional way: The trainer presents the learning objectives according to the established program. The professional logic of the subject gives the necessary order of learning. The trainer answer questions. Teaching is dominant, learning is limited, trying to transmit ideas. There will be no CoP.

Changing from the traditional passive learning (which is very limited) to the future active role of learning

The topics are presented and the learning objectives are developed, negotiated, and agreed upon together with the trainees. Learning will be focusing the teacher will integrate into the learning community.

Even more, if he or she continues to facilitate active Learning: Trainees design the tasks and their sequences for a “step-by-step” appropriation of knowledge, skills, and problem-solving.

instead of: The trainer presents, based on his/her knowledge of the subject, the approach of the tasks, and the order of elaboration. (again teaching activity does not create a learning community)
