The CoPs we audited include online community groups and networks around a common theme or interest set up by sector bodies and technology companies as well as independent groups run by individuals or groups of practitioners.

As part of this week's Week of VocTech, we invite you to explore the Communities of Practice Sector Audit Report:

The Communities of Practice project – AmplifyFE – is led by the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and funded by Ufi – the VocTech Trust.

ALT's chief executive, Dr Maren Deepwell, one of the original members of the FELTAG Action Group under Minister Matthew Hancock, will today contribute a special keynote to the Inside Government event FELTAG 2017: Embracing Digital Technology in Further Education .
