'empathy, integrity, compassion, caring, and communication within a patient–provider
model '
within
'core values: accountability, altruism, compassion and caring, excellence, integrity,professional duty, social responsibility'.
It also used an online distributed methodology, authentic learning, authentic assessment and assessment rubrics. It used individual reflective practice and collective discussion. The article make the interesting point that CoPs maintain individualist perspective whilst building collectivist positions, unlike teams or projects.

Hi again Joyce,
I will have to pursue this further because I have trouble agreeing with the statement that: "The article make the interesting point that CoPs maintain individualist perspective whilst building collectivist positions, unlike teams or projects."
I will have to make a point to read the article because I have to see how an individualist perspective can be maintained consistently in a community of practice. I find it difficult to see because it seems to me that in any form of group setting some sort of consensus, compromise, adjustment will have to be made which may not be to the benefit of the individual. I will study this article and get back to you.
Heather
