Intentional Communities Of Practice

Here's an overview of the development (2006 to 2009) of an intentional Communities OF Practice model for Academic Professional Development. This grew out of the Dummies2Delight group started in 2006, and has grown into a model for creating and supporting collaborative teaching and learning projects with a technology steward (CTLI/TPA) lecturers and their students.
