For the discussion assignment, write a brief paragraph with your thoughts about how Wenger-Trayner’s concept of communities of practice could be applied to your stage of academic and professional development, including taking college courses. If you have been involved with a community of practice yourself, be sure to include it and explain how it met the purpose of a community of practice as explained in the essay. Respond to at least two other posts. Any assignment submitted later than three days after the due date will receive a zero for the assignment.
