orts.
These add up, accumulate, compound and cumulatively, with instruction, guidance,

Practice (CoP) lead to progressive mastery - knowledge, skills and attitudes (heads,

7. What does a single small step, of Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and Micro-Scholarship look like?

8. What does a single small step, of Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and Micro-Scholarship look like?
Consider one unit, one piece of knowledge or skill. At its most granular level. For example one concept, it's
de
fi
nition, how to use and apply it. One illustration. One demonstration (of a skill). Add a single (or more)
instructional idea or tip, a single (or more) re
fl
ection, and example(s) of application to form a unit of individual
Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and through open engagement and (digital) practice Micro-Scholarship.

We See (are exposed to, and observe), Do (explore, practice with guidance, re
fl
ection and feedback),
Teach (including peer teaching and sharing, learn through recall, explanation, elaboration and recall),
and engage in Scholarship (through documenting, writing, producing e.g. creating, curating,
combining, integrating, applying and using - teaching and sharing; the Scholarship of Discovery,
Integration, Application and Practice-Teaching [Boyer], with intentionality and informed [Glassick] and
through open (digital) practice [Shulman]).

24. Our 'pitch' and key takeaway is a simple one:
That Learning, and Scholarship are similar; both taken in small iterative, cumulative steps. We
learn best and engage in scholarship working together within a Community of Interest and
Community of Practice. Scholarship is open, public practice, an extension of learning. We "See
(one), Do (one), Teach (one) … Write (‘do’ Scholarship .. then ‘be’ a Scholar .. then) Teach (again)”.
We "Take Note, Make Notes, then Share Notes".
