Welcome to the George Mason University Graduate School of Instructional Design Community of Practice (GSE ID CoP).

Welcome New Visitors- Learn More About Us

The GSE ID CoP is a Constructivist Learning Environment
Communities of practice form around content areas to help interested and motivated learners construct new knowledge and
improve their skills through active participation in the community. Instructional Design is a complex and multi-faceted domain, scaffolding, modeling and mentorship are all elements that help learners make sense of the variety of issues and problems encountered in the field. Communities of practice are social learning tools that encourage and support knowledge sharing and collaborative problem solving among members. The opportunity to learn from multiple perspectives is valuable and many times necessary to approach problem solving from a new direction. Working in a community of practice helps to build knowledge that is informed by actual experience imparted from the more experienced community members while elevating the knowledge level of the novice.
