I am a Mentor in the Foundations of CoP Course

I am very happy to share that I am one of the 4 mentors in the Fall 2010 Foundations of Communities of Practice workshop that is sponsored by CPsquare. In this capacity, I will work with workshop leaders Etienne Wenger, John Smith, and Bronwyn Stuckey and fellow mentors Joost Robben, Monique Léger, and Paul Lowe.

I have worked with all of these colleagues before, though never in the capacity of a mentor. While I will have a lot to share and explore in my own work, I will keep this brief as I have not yet posted my own introduction to the workshop. Ahh, the busy life of one who is interested in so many things related to teaching and learning from a distance!

Research Process and Methodology Course Begins Tonight

I am teaching a new graduate course at New York University that begins tonight, Research Process and Methodology. This is a required, core course in the M.S. in Management and Systems degree program. I am making my syllabus freely available for anybody who is interested in viewing it; feedback is always appreciated!

Munich Photos

I uploaded pictures from my trip to Munich on Monday, 30 August, and they are all available on Flickr. Visiting the Nymphenburg Palace (and the wonderful porcelain workshop there), Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Hofbräuhaus, and the surrounding city. I am fortunate that this was my second time visiting Munich this year, and as it is becoming an increasingly important airline hub from New York to Europe, I hope to visit it again.

By the way, while I did visit and eat at Hofbräuhaus, I drank red wine there (no surprise?!).
