Colleagues
The current edition of Transformative Dialogues: teaching and learning ejournal, Volume 9, Issue 1, is freely accessible at: http://kpu.ca/TD/Current_Issue
Please share with all who may be interested.
This issue is dedicated to Communities of Practice in Higher Education.
A Community of Practice (CoP) is an informal network of people (which can range in number from 25 or fewer to 500 or more) who share a common interest and work on aspects of it through face-to-face meetings and seminars; blogs, listservs and other online communication tools; and other formats and techniques. Other terms in the literature include learning teams, teaching scholars, customized groups and faculty or professional learning communities. We seek articles or other formats about Communities of Practice in higher education. This issue highlights a number of CoPs, how they benefit contributors, participants and recipients.
Transformative Dialogues is a forum for conversations intended to foster the improvement of adult teaching and learning. TD facilitates the multi-disciplinary exchange of ideas, actions, and results of innovative and professional practice in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
This is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal.
The articles are available as .pdf files. The reader can be downloaded for free from Adobe at: http://get.adobe.com/reader

"When we speak, in gestures or signs, we fashion a real object in the world; the gesture is seen, the words and the song are heard. The arts are simply a kind of writing, which, in one way or another, fixes words or gestures, and gives body to the invisible." - Émile-Auguste Chartier (1868 - 1951) French philosopher
