Communities of Practice

Throughout my role as an academic advisor (2004 onwards) I have focused upon facilitating and nurturing Communities of Practice (COP) as a model for professional development. Each COP has been critically informed by embedding the Scholarship of Technology Enhanced Learning (SOTEL), evidenced by a wide corpus of peer reviewed publications, and summarised in a 2016 book chapter (Cochrane & Narayan, 2016). Examples of this embedded CoP model are curated in an eBook report.

On this page I summarise the COPs and associated SOTEL outputs for my work with COPs since 2012.
