Di Granger is facilitating a Community of Practice (CoP) for those interested in learning about, and achieving the *new* Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. Each session will explore a single or cluster of competencies providing opportunity for participants in learning and development to achieve best practice within their field.
This Community of Practice is suitable for those wishing to achieve the full Certificate IV in Training and Assessment or for those looking to upgrade their existing qualification.
Collaborative learning rather obviously implies learning with others - which may be better than learning on one's own, but is not in itself a particularly exciting idea. Collaborative learning becomes powerful and exciting when it occurs in the context of a community of practice. A community of practice could be formed by a well-defined small group (such as a research group at a university) or a large amorphous collective (such as people involved in the discipline and profession of psychology) or anything in between. Such communities have, over time, developed a certain level of trust and evolved sets of assumptions, practices, hierarchies, and projects which enable their members to work together. In the real world we learn most in the process of becoming part of such a community and of contributing to what it is doing.
