Communities of practice
Share expertise, provide peer support, encourage culture change
EXAMPLES
• DIAL project - Enable sixteen self-identifying communities within UAL to articulate their digital literacies goals and aspirations, assess their existing skills and confidence levels, and develop processes to support their development, including the generation of resources (for example such as digital video recordings of staff using applications which are new to them, and articulating in a voice-over their concerns and their developing understanding).
• Social networking on campus - Reading
• Lunchtime sessions - Teeside
