Produktbeschreibung
My study empirically describes and analyzes the
characteristics and functionality of the Communities
of Practice used within eXtension, a new initiative
of the Cooperative Extension(CE)system supported
through land-grant universities in every state in the
United States. It also endeavors to lay the
foundation for empirical analysis of community of
practice processes, which to date have been explained
almost exclusively using qualitative case study
methods. Land-grant universities were founded on the
ideals that higher education should be accessible to
all, that the university should teach liberal and
practical subjects and should share the college''s
knowledge with people throughout their states.
eXtension is an educational partnership of
more than 70 land-grant universities. Its reported
purpose is to help Americans improve their lives with
access to timely, objective, research-based
information and educational opportunities accessed
through www.extension.org. This Web site is
customized with links to state land-grant university
Cooperative Extension Web sites. This book
is about the people who are collaborating to create
and publish on http://www.extension.org
