This document provides an overview of content and assignments for an online course on building community and integrating technology into virtual learning environments. It includes readings from textbooks on peer and self-assessment, mitigating conflict, and instructional models. Students are asked to design critical thinking questions, demonstrate understanding of instructional models, and design opportunities for student input. The document then provides various online tutorials and resources on tools like Google Docs, surveys, and TPACK frameworks to support students' exploration of building online community. Students are asked to reflect on building engaging online communities and considering principles of universal design for learning to support all students.

As you reflect this week on
building, creating and nurturing
an engaging online community,
start your exploration with the
factors contribute to your
learning experience online.
As you think about your
strengths and needs in the
classroom, think about
students with different
strengths. How will your
approach support them in the
classroom?
It is very easy to plan a
classroom or lesson for our
strengths. We also need to
support students who learn
differently. Striving towards
the principles of Universal
Design for Learning can
strengthen our offerings for all
students.
