Research has previously been undertaken into online communities of practice within teacher education (special issue of Technology, Pedagogy and Education Vol 16, Issue 2, 20071), though it has focused on compulsory education teacher training and, while there is research supporting the use of a communities of practice approach in developing HE teachers (Patton and Parker, 2017), this has not explored in detail such communities within an online or distance learning context.	cache/compass-1249.pdf	txt/compass-1249.txt
