DESCRIPTION:Value Creation in Online Communities for Educators\nBooth\, S
 haron E\; Kellogg\, Shaun B. British Journal of Educational Technology V
 ol. 46\, Iss. 4\,  (Jul 2015): 684-698\n\nAs a Journal club this is a ch
 ance to meet colleagues and share thoughts on this article.\n\nhttps://o
 nlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjet.12168\n\nAbstract from pape
 r:\nThe popularity and pervasiveness of online communities have led rese
 archers and practitioners alike to closely examine the utility of online
  communities for supporting and facilitating professional learning. As e
 conomic constraints leave fewer resources available for professional dev
 elopment\, educators in particular are examining the potential of online
  communities to enhance and extend traditional professional development 
 opportunities. Leveraging the potential of online communities requires a
 n in-depth understanding of the value that members find through their pa
 rticipation. This study used Wenger\, Trayner and de Laat’s value creati
 on framework to better understand cycles of value creation in online com
 munities. Findings illuminate how members with varying perspectives and 
 levels of expertise co-construct new forms of meaning and understanding 
 in ways that are individually and collectively valuable\, and how they a
 pply that knowledge to their professional practice. Additionally\, the s
 tudy offers insight into the ways in which actions of community leaders 
 and a sponsoring organization support and facilitate value creation thro
 ugh different types of activities\, tools and interactions.\n\nThe Acade
 my for Education and Professional Development’s mission is “To ensure co
 nsistent high-quality development and delivery of educational programmes
  with student experience at their heart”. Academy events are open to all
  those who contribute to the development\, delivery and management of FB
 MH undergraduate\, postgraduate and continuing professional development 
 programmes including staff from across the University\, the Manchester A
 cademic Health Science Centre and our NHS clinical education partners. T

 en and/or pedagogy literature of interest.\n\nRefreshments will be provi
