This chapter examines the process of developing pedagogical and administrative approaches for a newly created Center for Multimedia Communication Design (CMCD). Jennifer Sheppard argues that new media scholars can benefit from attention to the concepts of situated practice and communities of practice as a theoretical and practical approach to building learning spaces devoted to new media work. Both concepts relate the process of learning to the importance of immersive activity done in collaboration with others and support the idea that expertise develops through opportunities for authentic practice over time.
