    Description of what a Community of Practice (CoP) is and what they look like. The second part of the definition "and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly" helps us understand the differences between community (a neighborhood, for example) and a community of practice. Based on this article, three characteristics are crucial to have a CoP: the domain, (there is a shared domain of interest), the community (members build relationships to learn from each other) and the practice (members of the PoC share resources, experiences, stories…)

    This article by Etienne Wenger, gives a thorough definition of communities of practice and what a community of practice looks like. The author explains how communities of practice developed through learning theory and how the concept is being applied by government, education, associations, the social sector, international development, and the web. Further readings are available to review.

    This Intro to CoP felt like a great start to my search. This article provides not only a simple overview of the CoP concept but also gives the history of of communities of practice. Additionally, the author provides examples of a variety of settings and terminology used to represent communities of practices in a wide range of fields.

    In this article, Wenger gives an overview of Communities of Practice including its definition, characteristics, and its application in a variety of fields. This article helped me better understand the basics of Communities of Practice.

    This article discusses adding CoPs to different organizations. It mentions the Internet Generation and describes various tools that will benefit a CoP. Finally, it describes that a CoP should have a purpose that has goals aligned with a specific purpose or vision in order to be effective.
  • Kristen Taubman on 05 Sep 16
     
    I really appreciated this article and in particular the sense of purpose as a topic. So often I feel that CoPs can feel very purposeful and vibrant when they are created but lose their vigor or meaning as the primary task has been resolved. It seems that strategically placing emphasis on keeping the systems open and renewing purpose in order to develop leaders and new members creates a different energy for everyone involved.

    Here, Ravenscroft conducts a theoretical look at connectivism. He asks what the role of networked technolgies is in the digital age and suggests that tool selection, desired dialogue, and genre should all be considerations for networked learning. He says that "embracing connectivism means that we need to consider new design metaphors for future learning that place the person, their social behaviour, and their community at the centre of the design process and the resulting network technologies" (155).
  • Kristen Taubman on 05 Sep 16
     
    I found this to be a particularly interesting article. The authors propose the development of a new theoretical model that integrates the foundations of social constructivist thinking, with an emphasis on dialogue, with the connectivist approach to networking. This combination in turn is meant to illicit, support, and increase in collaborative inquiry. The dialogue game provides the students just enough structure necessary to facilitate a organic discussion and critical inquiry.

    This article focuses on the future of the learning management system in online education. It argues that the closed LMS is incapable of offering the interactivity of web 2.0 technologies to students. It stresses the need for greater connectivity and environments that can be personalized.

    As the person in charge of the LMS at the School of Nursing, I find this article to be completely valid. We have some younger faculty that want to do more than our LMS will allow, even with some of the widgets that have been added. The main problem that we have is that our current faculty simply use our LMS as a place to provide information instead of encouraging students to use it more like a PLE.

    This article expresses the idea that our professional and personal learning and networks take place in many places and not just the classroom, though that is a part of it. However, learning can be just as valid if you meet in the local coffee shop or head out for lunch together. It encourages us to expand our ideas of what professional development really is. It's not just the conference or event we go to. It's on-going.

    I really enjoyed reading this article. I appreciate having a more informal setting for PLNs outside the classroom and think it helps with creativity! Thanks for sharing!

    In this article, Reese discusses the current trends of online learning and how connectivism can help build 21st century skills through collaboration. Reese argues that without elements of communication, collaboration, and community, online education is not engaging students in meaningful learning experiences.

    Hi Jessica, I really like this article because Reese actually discusses some of the academic resistance to elearning opportunities and how that has created a barrier to resources that move students forward into meaningful communication and learning. Kristen

    In this article, Hiltz and Wellman explain how personal learning networks through the internet can enhance a sense of community and belonging. While some feel that online learning is cold and detached, they argue that the internet provides a unique opportunity for people to connect in a deeper way.

    This is a GoogleDoc created by George Siemens for an MOOC he co-facilitates on Connectivism through the University of Manitoba. It outlines the differences between connectivism and other prominent learning theories. It details the distinctions of the connectivism learning theory.

    The chart clearly shows the differences and relationships between the different theories of learning. I particularly like the idea that our knowledge through our network is always growing, the more connections we make the more our knowledge base grows.
  • Buffy Naillon on 05 Sep 16
     
    This is a really good source of information. I really appreciated that I could just look in one place and compare the different learning theories. I'm still trying to get a grasp on all the differences. I'm definitely glad I took a look! Cheers, Buffy

    Thanks for sharing this! I love the chart because you can compare the different learning theories all in one place! I always struggle to keep them straight :)

    I really enjoyed this brief handout because it did such a nice job of summing up some of Siemens other work that I had found during my own search.
