Beyond the Innovators - Gregynog 2007

Last week I was at the Gregynog Colloquium 2007 held at Gregynog Hall. The week starts as a conference for librarians and then morphs into an IT conference later in the week. I was at the 'morphing' bit, being neither a librarian or a techie.

Nicola and I gave a presentation entitled 'Beyond the Innovators - Building a Community of Practice' telling the story of our experiences here at Swansea. As Nicola said, "Our model subscribes to Etienne Wenger's model of 'Cultivating communities of Practice', what i found quite ironic was that we didn't actually see the model till later on, and yet it was everything we were already doing. "

You can find our notes here and an amended version of the presentaion slides here. (The slide have been added to so that they make at least some sense without the presentation).
