Abstract
This paper reports on our research with pre-service secondary mathematics teachers in building a community of practice featuring face to face and online interaction. We analyse bulletin board discussions involving our 2003 student cohort in terms of Wenger’s (1998) three defining features of a community of practice: mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and a shared repertoire of resources. The emergent design of the community has contributed to its sustainability in allowing pre-service teachers to define their own professional goals and values.
