KTER's Community of Practice (CoP): On April 16, KTER’s CoP of VR professionals met online to examine findings from a recently conducted survey, Making Research Work for VR Agencies. CoP participants shared ideas on how authors of the study should gear the discussions of its findings to other VR professionals. These ideas were incorporated into the webcast presented on May 21, 2014: Knowledge and Application of Evidence-Based Practice by State VR Agency Staff
We are growing this Community of Practice to engage VR Professionals in research and practice initiatives. If you would like to join our community, please email kter@air.org with “VR CoP” in the subject line.
