Model 2: reflections on professionalisim

Just completed tasks 1 and 2 on Communities of Prcatice and epistomologies of practice (tacit & explicit knowledge etc.). Both discussions have got me thinking about the nature of being a 'professional' within an HE context. Certainly there is tensions between the different CoP's that I work with - staff within the University, learning technologists, staff developers etc. - how complex and to a degree fragmented series of profesional networks. My sense of professional identity is certainly not as strong as being a landscape architect - does this relflect the chartered 'right of passage' that this profession had compared the 'profession by default' of my current professional development?
