	abstract = {Communities of practice (CoPs) are presented in literature as an efficient tool for creating and sharing knowledge among professionals.  In order to learn more about CoPs, four CoPs within Hanze University Groningen, the Netherlands, were studied.  Hanze University offers degree courses at the bachelor level.  This research project investigates the functioning of CoPs by way of action research.  Three questions are answered: How do CoPs work; what are the success factors?  What are the success factors of CoPs in Higher Education as compared to those from literature?  Can working as a CoP be taught, and if so, how should we go about this?  The results are translated into an educational model for teaching and learning about CoPs, with the conclusion that teaching and learning about CoPs helps to start and nurture CoPs in an educational institution.},

	abstract = {This chapter considers the experiences of part-time lecturers in Higher Education (HE).  Part-time lecturers, who work on an hourly-paid and non-permanent basis, are an important but often overlooked feature of Universities and Colleges.  Access to formal development processes that permanently employed academics take for granted is often difficult for part-time lecturers.  The Communities of Practice (CoP) framework is used to make sense of part-time lecturers' experiences expressed as part of an action research project undertaken in 2003-5 in a UK University Business School.  The chapter establishes the need for a re-examination of the role of part-time lecturers in HE and shows the part that Communities ofPractice can play in achieving this.},
