ABSTRACT

Research on communities of practice suggests that such groups can be used to support academic staff development, especially during times of crisis. We explore how a group of South African women academics and ‘eLearning champions’ engaged in a mobile community of practice under COVID-19 conditions. Our analysis of WhatsApp chat histories and focus group conversations reflects how the group evolved from a mobile CoP into a multi-modal third place, with implications for community-building, teaching transformation, and organisational change.

摘要

对实践社区的研究表明，此类团体可用于支持学术人员的发展，尤其是在危机时期。我们探讨了一群南非女性学者和“电子学习冠军”如何在 COVID-19 条件下参与移动实践社区。我们对 WhatsApp 聊天记录和焦点小组对话的分析反映了该小组如何从移动 CoP 演变为多模式的第三方，对社区建设、教学转型和组织变革产生影响。
