This session was presented at the 2016 ASHA Convention in Philadelphia.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this session, you will be able to
- compare and contrast communities of practice with traditional 1-day professional education courses;
- identify and discuss at least three benefits of participating in an online community of practice; and
- identify professional resources (e.g., community forum, community library, shared science) available on the Communication Matrix Community of Practice.
