First...a bit of information about where we are today. In the past 3 years SCoPE has grown to 2,113 members from 47 countries, we've organized 34 seminar discussions, 42 members have volunteered to facilitate scheduled discussions, and we have hosted over 39 special interest groups and events. Many of our activities are organized in collaboration with other communities and institutions, and all are made possible by our collaborating partners and volunteers in the community.
During the past year we have had some administrative changes that have probably gone unnoticed. The Learning and Instructional Development Centre at Simon Fraser University provided SCoPE with the support and design expertise to get up and running, and continues to host the site and provide technical assistance as needed. Since April, 2008 BCcampus, an online educational service connecting learners and educators to programs and resources across all British Columbia institutions, has been supporting my role as community coordinator. I'm so grateful that international participation in our professional development is valued in this way!
As always your help is needed in planning for future activities and enhancing our community. Thinking ahead to the next 12 months, what would you like to see happen in SCoPE? Remember, BIG ideas are great but tiny suggestions are also very important!
