Abstract
In the ADDIE model, implementation is the actual launch and daily workings of interventions planned and produced through the design process. The implementation phase usually involves communicating plans to learners, planning the logistics of instruction, and preparing the support for learners, instructors and any other key personnel involved in the educational process (Larson and Lockee, Streamlined ID: A practical guide to instructional design, Routledge, New York, NY, 2014). Implementation tasks for building a community of practice include facilitation, trust building, member recruitment, and ongoing training. This chapter will explore the many tasks required for an effective launch and execution of a thriving community of practice.
