CoRe – Linking Teaching and Research by a Community-Oriented Strategy

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of a “community of research ” (CoRe), a knowledge network of academic staff and students organized as a community of practice. The CoRe network is being developed within the context of a community-oriented strategy for the integration of teaching and research at the Swiss Distance University of Applied Sciences. We will first present the reasons and objectives of the CoRe project, secondly describe the seven basic elements of our design of CoRe viewed as a social structure, thirdly sketch the early stages of implementation of this design, fourthly present the online collaboration platform supporting interactions among CoRe members and finally derive some of the major implications that CoRe is expected to have on the linking between teaching and research.
