Beyond functional silos with communities of practiceDennis Stevens
Explore the concept of communities of practice and how they are a vital component for agile organizations. From providing tactical support in issue resolution, to being stewards of knowledge across vast enterprises, and even helping create support for the larger organizational change, communities of practice are a vital component in improving organizational agility.
Communities of practice have become an accepted part of organizational development. One should pay attention to domain, membership, norms and rules, structure and process, flow of energy, results, resources, and values.
Creating strong & passionate agile communities of practiceAllison Pollard
Everyone hits a challenge at some point in adopting agile and belonging to a larger community can help you overcome those challenges. Whether you call it a tribe, a user group, or a community of practice, having a group of people to share ideas with and learn from is a valuable tool to further your personal development and maintain your sanity. Learn about what communities of practice are, how to start them, and why they’re an important part of growing agile.
In the USA, many schools are building their reform efforts on a foundation of professional learning communities that engage participants in honest examination and refinement of their daily practice.
This session will discuss the characteristics of effective teacher and principal learning communities. We will examine a variety of models of gathering data and insights that can inform changes in individual and school practices, transforming the teaching profession and accelerating student achievement.

A basic explanation for communities of practice, and some ideas for designing digital environments to help them thrive. Based on portions of presentations I have given over the last 4-5 years.
For many years, organizations that have been recognized as best places to work have received that recognition because they have cultures that create the conditions for people to thrive personally and professionally. Cultures in organizations that are good places to work develop environments in which people work together in support of the mission and vision.

Transforming Moodle - United for Wildlife Implementation Case StudyThomas Bell
Moodle MOOT presentation in Dublin, Ireland on May 12th 2015
#mootieUK15
There is a common misconception that the Moodle platform is inflexible and/or ugly. How far can you push the boundaries of Moodle without core hacks? Can Moodle be beautiful? This presentation looks at the development of a stunning MOOC site for United for Wildlife and discusses some of the hurdles and successes faced.
The first MOOC for United for Wildlife will be released in early May 2015 on a dedicated platform and has an array of plugins with improvements to; UI/UX with the theme, consistent incourse navigation, additional and modified My page blocks, custom authentication, custom login, badges block and a visually bold grid course format.
This presentation is a case-study showing what is possible with Moodle, using the plugin framework and no core hacks.

Our campus introduced faculty “Bootcamps” as a way to engage faculty in redesigning face-to-face courses for online delivery. Bootcamps were 3-day workshops developed to overcome factors contributing to technology anxiety among faculty, such as time constraints and lack of rewards. I will demonstrate how our approach to Bootcamp can be applied in other faculty development scenarios as provided by the audience. Participants will leave with ideas of how to overcome obstacles to faculty development efforts.
Don’t want to develop your new course from scratch, but you’d rather reuse what others have already created? Have you ever considered integrating a MOOC in your campus course? In this practical workshop you’ll create your open course design. You will learn where to find educational resources available for reuse and how to integrate them (including MOOCs) in your course design.

Eportfolios allow people to manage the evidence of their formal and informal learning experiences by enabling them to gather and present their information in one place. Through a flexible, student-centred approach, teachers/trainers can regularly provide ongoing feedback and advice to their students through their eportfolio. As part of a structured and scaffolded program, students are empowered to showcase themselves in a variety of ways, utilising the mobile devices which they carry around with them, and as they collect their evidence anytime, anywhere. The skills students develop in creating their eportfolio are those necessary to effectively present and manage themselves online, a key skill for the 21st century. Students then have the opportunity to use their eportfolio to apply for a job, get a promotion or gain recognition of prior learning. This session will demonstrate how eportfolios are being used as flexible, online learning and assessment spaces, and how teachers/trainers can get started in implementing eportfolios with their students.

1st Slide – Title PageMy name is Ala and I am from the Centre for Flexible and Distance Learning otherwise known as CFDL. I will be co-presenting with my fellow CFDL collegue, Javed Yusuf. Vice Chancellor, Professor McPhee, DVC Kelly and fellow USP Collegues, our presentation today is looking at the CoP – Communities of Practice and its activities and how its objectives can be further enhanced in a virtual environment and we will be focusing specifically on a tool in the virtual environment that we are familiar with here in USP - and that is Moodle. If we were to look at how CoP aligns with our USP’s Strategic Plan 2010-2012 Priority Area 1: Teaching & Learning, it can indeed provide a very effective mechanism in meeting the three objectives under this priority area as follows:Improve the quality of academic programmesand ensure that they are highly regarded locally and internationallyEnsure USP programmes continue to be relevant and responsive to the needs of the region and to the region’s integration into the global economy.Improve the quality of teaching in all campuses.
2nd Slide - OverviewThis is an overview of what Javed and I are focusing on in our presentation. We will begin by looking at some background information on CoP followed by a presentation of examples of how Moodle have been used to build Communities of Practice (CoP) at USP.
3rd Slide – What is a CoP?I will begin by saying that many of you are already familiar with this term and in fact the phenomenon is age-old although the term Communities of practice is of a relatively recent coinage according to the literature as expressed by Etienne Wenger a leading scholar in the study of Communities of Practice. I may also add that much of what I will be presenting on is based on the work of Etienne Wenger.What is a CoP? Definitely not a police officer from Central Police Station in downtown Suva but a CoP are: Groups of people whoshare a concern or a passion for somethingthey do and learn how to do itbetter as theyinteractregularly. It must benotedthat not everythingthatisreferred to as a communityis a community of practice for instance the USP community. There are 3 characteristicsthat are crucial in determiningthis:This first is : Domain A CoPis not merely a group of friends or a network of connections between people but its identity isdefined by a shareddomain of interest for example the shareddomain of interestfor the Network of Pacific Educatorsotherwiseknown as NOPE is -Education in the Pacific.The second characteristic of a COP is : CommunityIn addition to pursuinginterest in theirdomain, members engage in joint activities and discussions, help eachother and share information. In otherwords, besides sharing a domain of interest, itis the collabarativeactivitiesthatmembers of a CoPundertakethatmakeit a community. Having the same job or titledoes not make for a community of practice unlessmembersinteract and learnfromeachother. The keywordhere are : Learning & Sharing And the thirdisPractice : Members of a CoP are practitioners - contributors. Membersdevelop a shared basket of resources ; experiences, stories, tools, ways of recurringproblems= shared practice.
4th Slide – What is a CoP?If I may summarise these in three words, a CoP is essentially engaged in:Co-learning, Co-nnecting and Co-lloboratingAnd the common thread herebeing, SHARING
5th Slide– Now let us look at the kinds of activitiesthat a CoP engages in :The first is, ProblemSolving – e.g. How can I create groups withinmy course in Moodle ? I’mstuck…..
6th Slide– Anotheractivitythat a CoPmaybeinvolved in is in Requesting for information - e.g. Wherecan I getexamples of rubrics to assess online discussion forum participation ?
9th Slide– Anothercommonactivity in Discussingdevelopments – e.g. What do youthink about assessingGAs in your programmes & individual courses ?
11th slide– Reusingassets – e.g. I have a powerpoint I used for a class I recentlytaughtwhichmayjust fit yourpurposes, I can sent it to you and youcaneasilytweakit for yourown use. So often I hearutterancesfromwithinmyowndepartment and across the university about not havingenough time, workisjusttoomuch – reusing/repurposingassetscan do a lot in helping us manage time better
13th slide– A CoPmayalso engage in mappingknowledge and identifying gaps for e.g. in relation to curriculum mappingexercisesthat are conducted in ourfaculties. The questions thatwemayneed to askis, Whoisteachingwhat, and what are wemissing ? Whatotherschools or facultiesshouldwe talk to ?These are the kinds of activitiesthat a CoP are engaged in and now Javed will show youexamples of how Moodle has been used as an instrument in enhancing or furthering the objectives of any type of CoP. Havingsaidthat, Moodleis one of manytoolsthatcanbeused to create and build a CoP in the virtualenvironment – there are otherssuch as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even email.
