About Community of Practice
A Community of Practice is a group of people who share a passion for something, and who also want to learn how to do that thing better. Through their regular interactions, community members discuss challenges and seek answers to them, as well as design innovative ways to use ideas and resources. The greatest strength of the Community of Practice learning model is its peer-to-peer faculty development approach.
