 connections and share practice within common fields of interest, such as first year course leadership, research supervision, internationalisation, student, cultural and equity issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN">The implementation of a CoP approach, based on theory and examples of proven practice to the higher education context, is embraced by dreamers, who seek to realise the potential of CoPs
 to connect colleagues in powerful learning communities. Dreamers strive to build CoPs within a professional context that is often isolated, and even competitive.  However, as well as the dreamers, pragmatic schemers are needed to overcome challenges around
 creating and sustaining CoPs within established disciplines and hierarchical management structures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-fareast-language:ZH-CN">International authors implement the core CoP approach of sharing practice as they share their reflections on their experience of taking a CoP vision from dream to reality. Their stories
 articulate the dream, the passion, and the challenges of working within and/or changing existing institutional culture and practice. Readers will find strategies that worked and reflections on lessons learnt that will inform future dreamers and schemers as
 they seek to establish their own communities. These multiple perspectives provided in the case studies will assist higher education leaders, as well as academic and professional staff, to establish, or reflect on existing, CoPs, by sharing insights and critical
 reflection on their implementation strategies, practical guidelines and ideas on how CoP theoretical underpinnings can be tailored to the higher education context.
