In this book about communities of practice in the international,
higher education sector, the authors articulate the theoretical
foundations of communities of practice (CoPs), research into their
application in higher education, leadership roles and how CoPs
sustain and support professional learning. Research demonstrates
that communities of practice build professional and personal links
both within and across faculty, student services and administrative
and support units. This book describes how community of practice
members may be physically co-located and how social media can be
used to connect members across geographically diverse locations. It
positions higher education communities of practice within the
broader community of practice and social learning literature, and
articulates the importance of community of practice leadership
roles, and the growing focus on the use of social media for
community of practice implementation. The multiple perspectives
provide higher education leaders, academic and professional staff
with the means to establish, or reflect on existing CoPs, by
sharing insights and critical reflections on their implementation
strategies, practical guidelines and ideas on how community of
practice's theoretical underpinnings can be tailored to the higher
education context.
In this edited collection, the authors pick up the communities of
practice (CoP) approach of sharing practice in their reflection on
the experience of taking their CoP vision from a dream to reality.
Their stories articulate the vision, the passion and the challenge
of working within and/or changing existing institutional culture
and practice. The book discusses strategies that worked and
considers the lessons learnt to inspire future dreamers and
schemers. The multiple perspectives provided in the case studies
will assist higher education leaders, as well as academic and
professional staff, in establishing or assessing CoPs. The book
offers insights into implementation strategies, practical
guidelines and ideas on how CoP theoretical underpinnings can be
tailored to the higher education context.
Within the information systems discipline, there is a strong
tradition of using empirical research to conduct relevant and
rigorous studies. Evaluating the methods, frameworks, processes,

Methods, Epistemology, and Applications presents a collection of
recent empirical studies in information systems. Gathering cases of
innovative approaches to evaluation, as well as examples of
effective organizational approaches to analyzing, summarizing, and
presenting empirical data sets and conclusions, this book is
essential to academic and research libraries and a must-have for IT
researchers, business managers, professionals, and academics.
