Vygotsky and Dewey realized that learning is a social process – people learn by interacting with one another.Modern research has investigated not only the individual interactions between students and their impact on learning, but also the ‘community’ formed by the school. Does a feeling of ‘belonging’ to an organization or group promote learning? Osterman (2000), in a review of educational literature, says yes – community and a sense of belonging matter. Even so, schools rarely pay much attention to developing community in their students.Recall story about my time as an at-risk youth teacher and the poetry slam club.UT Arlington struggles with community building – it’s largely a commuter school, and recently, there has been a major push to develop online programs. My liaison duties to the College of Education have been impacted – they’re adding thousands of new students overnight through a distance education push.Do communities exist in online environments?

Online games like World of Warcraft are known for their community and team-based structure; but people have online communities all over the place.

At UT Arlington, our old pages were cold, isolating, and uninviting. If learning is social, they’re not likely to run into anyone here. There’s no sense of belonging – especially our UTTC Telecampus students who jump from UT institution to UT institution taking classes – one semester they’re taking a UT Austin-based class, the next UT Arlington.We used videos and screencasting to attempt to build ‘belonging’ into the UT Arlington library experience – we’re not building a community; they already have one in their courses with their fellow students.Photo credit: “Alone on the 4th” by juicyrai at Flickr.com.

In our guide, we have two kinds of video: the pure YouTube-able welcome, belonging-making videos, and instructional screencasts made with Camtasia, also flavored with belongingness.In the libGuides, show WELCOME video, ASSISTED DATABASES, finally LIBRARIAN VS. STEREOTYPE.
