When joining a CoP, I always feel like I can gain something from others but are not sure what I can contribute. Writing is not my thing. I tried writing a blog and I lost interest fast.
I can build things. Interactive things, video things, audio things, images and animations. Here is an example of a work in progress: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/7af3becf-2120-471f-9c3c-52bfee4c4d54/review. This is a work in progress but it gives you an idea of what sort of things I do.
I am an instructional designer at WesternU. What is an instructional designer? Nobody knows. Everyone I have met does the job differently. The job is in its infancy. I am a builder, a doer, a helper and for my faculty a consultant, enabler and support system. I work within a context. Currently, I am working on creating online courses for Adult Learners.
We have a face2face CoP for all the instructional designers on Campus at WesternU. I enjoy that group and every time we meet I get something out of it.
I enjoy CoP for specific topics like Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community, a community for users of Articulate Storyline. If I get stuck on a task or need inspiration I go there. Everything is shared. A 'just-in-time' CoP is very helpful to me as I am sure it is for many. I often fill that role for my faculty. I am a 'just-in-time' solver of tech issues with our LMS and advisor on instructional technologies.
Am I part of a CoP in our faulty? Does that fit within the definition of a CoP?
