Regional pilot
Objectives• To support the JISC’s forming of an effective and
sustainable CoP– To provide an appropriate infrastructure and tool kit for the CoP
• To support the CoP through specific activities– Blended f2f and online community facilitation workshops, seminars
and other events – Social software and community tools training events and materials– To support the JISC in developing the next generation of learning,
teaching and administration technologies through the use of the UIDM
• To support the CoP in understanding the value of the UIDM• To support project teams in the use of the UIDM
• To have fun!
We want groups of people to share ideas that lead to projects being developed that are aware at the outset what other projects there are in the programme: projects that reference one another, projects that claim a territory and say:
“We are doing this bit, here, and it relates to what those folks are doing over there, in these ways.”
for us the question is community
We are a support project

• “Communities don’t just happen. There needs to be organisation, structure, coordination, focus and planning”
• You want, “... purposeful, relevant activities with plenty of opportunities for interaction and discussion in small groups.”
• You said we need to nurture conversation, not just presentation
Guiding Principles
• Communities emerge, create and maintain themselves through continual re-negotiation
• Purpose, goals and values are key to driving the CoP formation (some provided by the JISC)
• Our role is to guide, support and facilitate community formation and emergence
• An Appreciative Inquiry led approach is adopted to allow appropriate feedback, guidance and fine tuning.
CommunitiesShare learning, interests, goals, tasks, values, adversity, place, identity …
• how to set up/join a community– Activity 5 http://elgg.jiscemerge.org.uk/news/files/8

Learning technology is a community of practice
