Description
In the fall of 2010, the US Department of Education launched a three-year project to determine how online communities of practice can catalyze educational improvement. The first months of the project have generated a new online community of practice for educational leaders (called access4ed) and research on how to build and connect online communities of practice to maximize their usefulness. Hear about these developments and about what is coming next.
