The first session of the Online Pedagogy Community of Practice (OCoP) on September 29th聽was a huge success. Over 40 participants showed up to celebrate the history of online education at CU Boulder聽as well as discuss what the future may bring. Twelve invited guests spoke about their role in guiding online education to a place of prominence and how this new community can be a place of collaboration and new directions.聽
This community of practice was formed to amplify the exemplary work already happening聽across campus, from training and workshops to innovative course design and student-centered pedagogy. But its most important goal will be to聽create a space for dialogue that builds trusted relationships聽among collaborators by sharing effective strategies and practices, encountering challenges with empathy, and facing change with community. This is not 鈥渏ust another meeting鈥� - this is a network of trusted collaborators invested in doing what we do, better.聽
