We want to grow a community of practice.
12

• In essence, communities of practice are groups
• of people who share similar goals and interests.
• In pursuit of these goals and interests, they
• employ common practices, work with the same
• tools and express themselves in a common
• language. Through such common activity, they
• come to hold similar beliefs and value systems.

Program Design Philosophy

• Build a learning environment that inspires
• creativity
• empathy for those healing
• care for our environment
• concern for ourselves
• The learning environment supports participants as
  they master a challenging body of knowledge in a
  complex field.

14
Program Design Philosophy

• We achieve mastery in different ways.
• Through design, we must ensure that we address
  how each participant learns, because every
  participants learning strengthens our community
  of practice.

15
Blended Learning

• Various media and methods of communication
• Individualized contexts to apply learning
• Participation of multiple faculty with different
  theories, expertise and teaching styles
• Accessible to a range of students
• Our primary tool in applying blended learning is
  ATutor

What is ATutor?

• ATutor is a Web-based Learning Content Management
  System (LCMS/LMS).
• LCMSs are often called course authoring tools,
  providing a way to create learning materials in a
  web-based environment and interact with faculty
  and students.
