''When we can be face to face (F2F) there are many opportunities and ways to learn together. We go to conferences and learn formally from each other in the sessions, hands-on in workshops and many of us learn the most over lunch and coffee in informal conversations with peers. This page is to help remind us of peer learning opportunities. There are specific pages that go into more depth about
online and
offline settings. Once you have an idea of what you might want, you can go to the relevant pages on the wiki.
From:
http://works.bepress.com/clem_guthro/1/ here is a little inspiration:
"Nine recommendations (for library CoPs for professional development)
were made: (a) The importance of informal learning in professional
practice should be recognized, (b) expectations of participation in
VCoPs should be articulated, (c) how information should be shared should
be articulated, (d) a knowledge sharing infrastructure should be put in
place, (e) a culture of innovation should be encouraged in each library
(f) a means of sharing between Oberlin Group VCoPs should be instituted, (g), integration of VCoP participation with Macalester’s
core competencies and performance measures should be defined, (h) ACRL
should further explore the role of VCoPs, and (i) ACRL should conduct a
follow-up study."
First of all, a VCoP is a virtual community of practice - people using online tools to learn together about their practice. See also our page on
Communities of Practice.

When is it important to do peer learning face to face (F2F)?
What about mixing online and F2F?¶
