    Lea, M. R. (2005). "Communities of practice" in higher education: useful heuristic or educational model? In D. Barton, K. Tusting, D. Barton, & K. Tusting (Eds.), Beyond Communities of Practice (pp. 180-197). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

    Lea believes most of the focus of Communities of Practice in higher education has been on the movement of the novice learner from the periphery to full membership within a community. Instead the author believes attention and research should be directed toward participants who have either made a conscious choice to stay on the periphery or have actively been excluded from full participation in the practices of a community.
