About this listen
Innovative uses of technology to support learning are emerging at exponential rates at this point in history, through professional communities. Some we see are on public platforms, like Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook, while others are in more private spaces, exclusive to a particular group of people wanting to specific results or perhaps go into even more depth on topics important to them.
Perhaps on of the most fascinating phenomena about virtual communities of practice is that often we connect with individuals, who we might have never met in person, on a much deeper level than colleagues or friends in our regular networks who we interact with every day.
In today’s episode of the podcast – Jane talks to fellow 'Hubber' and adult education consultant, Rebecca Eller Molitas, about virtual communities of practice - what they are all about, why you should join, and how to get the most out of these spaces.
