... the more work I do for online communities of practice, the more I have to meet people face-to-face.
Got to think on that one ...

This blog
- My name is Bev Trayner and I live in Setúbal, Portugal. The focus of my research and practice is designing for learning in distributed communities. I am particularly interested in connecting people in international communities. Key words are: communities of practice, learning, meaning-making, inclusion, multiliteracies, Portugal, and Web2.0 technologies. Keeping a blog helps me navigate my way through different practices and world views. Phronesis includes pondering on the specifics and the universal. It follows on from my previous blog "Em duas línguas".
More about my publications, presentations etc.

Estou particularmente interessada nas ligações entre pessoas nas comunidades internacionais. As palavras-chave são: comunidades de prática, aprendizagem, a produção de sentido, inclusão, multi-literacias, Portugal e as tecnologias de Web2.0 Escrevo este blog porque me ajuda a navegar entre diferentes práticas e diferentes visões do mundo. Phronesis, a contemplar o particular e o universal, vem no seguimento do meu blog "Em duas línguas."

I'm not surprised...
Online communities of practice are one way of communicating with others whose interests overlap with ours. Not the only way, not the be-all-and-end-all of ways, one way.
At their best, they overcome barriers of distance, facilitate connections, spark originality and collaboration. But they're not guaranteed to do those things, only to potentially ease the way.
