How and why should you create community in online classrooms? Message re licensing of this content This content was uploaded to Slideshare before it was taken over by Scribd.

COMMUNITY? • Is it
necessary?

matter?

3. About 90% of all
human
communication
is non-verbal
(Albert Mehrabian)

4. HOW DO YOU CREATE A SENSE OF
COMMUNITY ONLINE?

5. COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY MODEL

6. COMMUNITY ONLINE – TEACHING PRESENCE:
the design, facilitation, and direction of cognitive
and social processes for the purpose of
realizing personally meaningful and
educationally worthwhile learning outcomes

7. COMMUNITY ONLINE – TEACHING PRESENCE:
When a course is in session, students need to see
“evidence of engagement” such as announcements,
discussion board posts, and uploads of photos or
videos on the part of the instructor. It’s not enough
to log in and monitor a course. Instructors need to
show that they are active in the course.
