  Teeter, C., Fenton, N., Nicholson, K., Flynn, T., Kim, J., McKay, M., O'Shaughnessy, B., et al. (2011). Using Communities of Practice to Foster Faculty Development in Higher Education. From Here to the Horizon (Vol. 4). Presented at the The 31st Annual STLHE Conference, University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, SK.
  
  This paper describes the communities of practice initiative (a blended approach of in-person and online) at McMaster University designed to engage groups of faculty, staff, and students to share ideas. The authors found that the communities of practice provide a forum of safety and support that encourages the generation of new ideas and risk taking, in turn contributing to the learning experience of members. The communities also give an opportunity for faculty to engage in cross-disciplinary scholarly discussion of their pedagogical practices.
