This document summarizes the HumanMOOC, a professional development course that teaches strategies for building community and humanizing online learning experiences. The course uses a community of inquiry framework and explores tools like VoiceThread, FlipGrid, and video discussions to increase social, teaching, and cognitive presence. Participants provided feedback on Twitter about increased self-efficacy and applying skills from the competency-based course. Preliminary analysis of a related research study found increased motivation and persistence among learners who experienced more humanized online interactions.
