Community of Practice (CoP) Forum cum Launch of CUHK eLearning CoP

Abstract:	There has been a recent trend in education that teachers with certain common interests in teaching and learning form Community of Practice (CoP) in which they learn good practice from each other and gain mutual support in their endeavor to make changes. The event is to celebrate the launch of our new CUHK Community of Practice on eLearning at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. To give CoP a wider perspective, we have also invited guest speakers from overseas institution, local universities as well as local schools in the event to give us inspirations on the planning and implementation of effective CoP.
