My apologies for any cross posting, but I think that this call for
chapters will be of some interest to members  of several lists.

--------------------------

This call for chapters is for a forthcoming book by Chris Kimble and
Paul Hildreth, "Communities of Practice: Creating Learning Environments
for Educators" which is to be published in 2007 by Information Age
Publishing Inc.  Details of the book and a full version of the call for
chapters can be found at:

http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/mis/CLEE/Call_for_Chapters.html

The aim of the book is to bring together the expertise of people who
have worked with Communities of Practice (CoPs) in authentic educational
settings across the world in a convenient, internationally based,
workbook for people in the field of training and education.  It is
anticipated that this book will act as a resource for practitioners and
academics that work in the field of CoPs and education.

Prospective authors are invited to send a 500-word outline of their
chapter, by e-mail (Word document or plain text), to Chris Kimble
<[log in to unmask]> by May 26, 2006.  The outline should clearly
explain the content of the proposed chapter and suggest a theme and
section under which it might appear in the final book.
