This session will be a conversation about how to engage others in the use of personal learning communities / environments (PLC / Es). We will ground the conversation in diffusion theory by centering the discussion on the key innovation attributes that increase the rate of adoption. It is anticipated that discussions will include strategies for building and strengthening PLC / Es including case examples of how to connect dispersed PLC / E activities back into a traditional organizational structure.

The main **objectives** for this session with be to:
 * Discuss the key attributes that determine rate of adoption of PLC innovations
 * Discuss strategies for increasing the rate of adoption / participation of PLCs
 * Discuss ways to connect dispersed PLC-learning into the traditional workplace

We have attached a .pdf version of our PowerPoint Presentation that we will use to facilitate this discussion.
