In setting out our aspirations and invitations at the start of this MOOC, we shared the desire of many of its original contributors to see the establishment of a Community of Practice capable of improving the culture of academia.  

Throughout the MOOC we have welcomed your feedback on the extent to which the content, including especially the emergent contributions of those enrolled as students, has motivated and enabled you to think and be more care-full within your various realms and rhythms of practice. But what about the extent to which it has made you feel part of a wider care-full scholar community?

Drawing on your experience of undertaking this course, we invite you now to please use the Discussion Board below to share any ideas and suggestions on possible ways to deepen the collective community building dimension of this course, and also on how to keep this care-full scholarship community alive beyond the completion of this course.

If we are ever to achieve our ambition of a culture change within academia, and in the way in which it engages with society more widely, securing the longevity and finding ways to increase the momentum of this care-full scholar community are essential.

However simple or ambitious, any suggestion you are able to make will be gratefully received.
