"None of us is as smart as all of us."--Kenneth H. Blanchard
SEAMEO- AUS EduLink is an online community of practice (CoP) designed by Nantana Taptamat. This project is a winner of the 2021 SEAMEO Australia Education Links Award and is proudly supported by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) and the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment.
SEAMEO- AUS EduLink strives for building a trusted community for professional growth and identity development of its members. The members will engage with a series of online courses and expert presentations, develop their portfolios and interact with one another through an online community of practices. The members will share their practices with other members within the community platform.
The project has been implemented since August 2021, which involves Nantana designing and developing the SEAMEO-AUS EduLink platform and courses. In the next steps, our members will engage with the courses and with one another while developing their portfolios. From January - March 2022, the experts/educators/researchers whose works focus on ePortfolios will kindly present and/or run the workshops for our members.

This project is led by Nantana in collaboration with Siti Muflichah. We propose bringing scholars and teachers from Southeast Asian countries and Australia to learn and collaborate with one another through this online community of practice.
We are implementing the project virtually from November 2021 - May 2022. SEAMEO- AUS EduLink consists of two innovative elements:
A series of online learning and expert presentations; and
Online community of practice.
The project summary is presented in the video on the left.
SEAMEO-AUS EduLink consists of two components: An online professional development program (PD) and an online community of practice (CoP).
PD program involves a series of online courses and a series of guest speakers.
CoP involves both asynchronous and synchronous interactions among its member.
Below is our community website. Please feel free to visit or register to our community at https://nantanalearn.com/ We are welcome all new members.
We are creating 7 online courses and we share with our members throughout the programme.
We are contacting the educators, researchers and learning designers whose works related to ePortfolios to share their experience and expertise with our member.
There are two main things that our members will be doing.
They will participate in the activities of their choice.
They will develop their portfolios provide and receive feedback from one another.
In addition, we are open to any unforeseen collaborations, which could arise from interactive interaction among our members.
Time spent in the project will depend on their willingness. They can spend as little as 2 hours throughout the program or as much as 30 minutes a day during this program implementation. Our members have absolute rights to control their participation.
However, we are hoping that the members will be agentic in their participation and seek collaborations with other members who share similar interests.
The project is divided into two stages: Preparation and implementation. Please expand a drop-down menu to see activities in each phase. We are now engaging in the first phase of Stage 2.
All activities in this phase has been completed.
We are now implementing Phase 1.
From 29 October to 10 November 2021, we recruit the participants through several methods such as Facebook, our existing networks and SEAMEO networks.
