  2. Professional Connect Networks, or communities of practice are created when there is a common interest For the majority of networks, communication and sharing of resources is important. CareSearch can help to facilitate this via virtual engagement

  3. Professional Connect CareSearch can support networks by allowing interaction online. This enables groups to • Share information, such as documentation • Communicate in a way that allows tracking of conversation threads • Share a common calendar for important events

  4. Professional Connect • If a group is interested in this feature they will need to contact CareSearch • Users will be registered and will be emailed a username and password to gain access • These password protected areas are called forums and users need to decide what options they would like

  5. Professional Connect • A forum can have one or many areas of discussion • Groups need to decide if their forum needs to be moderated • If a tutor is working with students they may wish to moderate • A working group of peers won’t need a moderator
