The community of life science instructors developed in three phases, beginning with a small Core Team that emerged from a conference session and established the domain of interest for the CoP. In\u2010person workshops, supported by short\u2010term funding, drove the initial expansion of the community and the development of shared activities in Phase 2. This CoP was sustained through intentional choices about how members interact, collaborate, and share work. As the community matured in Phase 3, it was supported by longer\u2010term funding, allowing community engagement opportunities to expand to a diverse set of both online and in\u2010person offerings. Workshop surveys and focus group interviews suggested that virtual workshops were just as effective as those conducted in\u2010person for building community, and even more effective for skills development. The incorporation of virtual workshops simultaneously strengthened the community, accelerated its growth, and enhanced productivity. Creating spaces that foster the development of social capital were key to building a strong and enduring CoP. At the foundation of a team functioning largely online, a carefully designed multimodal ecosystem of communication enabled effective discourse and the development of community\u2010driven resources and products that sustain the practice. As we reflect on 13\u2009years as a CoP, we describe the features of our community design that may inform the successful development of other communities of educators.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/bmb.70083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T12:42:28Z","timestamp":1788871348000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cultivating Collaboration in\n                    <scp>BioMolViz<\/scp>\n                    : Key Attributes for Building a\n                    <scp>STEM<\/scp>\n                    Educator Community of Practice"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9121-7613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pamela S.","family":"Mertz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Mary's College of Maryland  St. Mary's City Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1494-7820","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charmita","family":"Burch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland Eastern Shore  Princess Anne Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9534-716X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roderico","family":"Acevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Westfield State University  Westfield Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1998-3970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Josh T.","family":"Beckham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin  Austin Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3793-0124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Didem","family":"Vardar\u2010Ulu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston University  Boston Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2890-2738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristin M.","family":"Fox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Union College  Schenectady New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6594-2398","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren A.","family":"Genova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Delaware  Newark Delaware USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1679-957X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel M.","family":"Mitton\u2010Fry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Denison University  Granville Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9402-2248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Swati","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Mary Washington  Fredericksburg Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0530-5212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel R.","family":"Dries","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chapman University  Orange California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0195-9048","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristen","family":"Procko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin  Austin Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","unstructured":"E.Wenger\u2010TraynerandB.Wenger\u2010Trayner \u201cIntroduction to Communities of Practice: A Brief Overview of the Concept and Its Uses \u201d2015 https:\/\/www.wenger\u2010trayner.com\/introduction\u2010to\u2010communities\u2010of\u2010practice."},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bmb.20548"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bmb.20537"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.29173\/isotl613"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1145\/1067699.1067705","article-title":"Using Technology to Transform Communities of Practice Into Knowledge\u2010Building Communities","volume":"25","author":"Hoadley C.
