The Arqus Alliance invites teachers to participate in the online teaching innovation workshop “Communities of Practice – Supporting innovation, promoting collaboration” by trainer Elsa Costa e Silva from the University of Minho. The online workshop will take place on 20th May 2024 from 14:30 to 15:30 CEST.
This webinar will introduce and explore the concept of communities of practice (CoPs) as a way to enhance pedagogical innovation and to minimize isolation among teachers. CoPs, also called Communities of Professional Development, are “groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis” (Wenger, Mc- Dermott, & Snyder, 2002).
