Focus of this presentation “ As distance education has evolved from a teacher-centric to a much more learner-centric model, the roles and activities instructors and other learner support providers have changed to being more proactive than reactive” (Brindley et al., 2004, p.9) The lack of campus life imposes difficulty in keeping students and graduates connected beyond the ties of the online classroom. Building virtual communities in a sustainable way is the focus of this presentation.
