The TLT Group, A Non-Profit Organization - FridayLive! April 27 Building a Sense of Community Online: Building a Sense of Community in an Online Environment: Boldly Going Where You May Not Have Before...

Building community online can be challenging. We “quickly” put a course online that we thought would be face-to-face with two major goals: (1) Create the sense of community that we have in the classroom and (2) facilitate students constructing knowledge together. Participants will share in discussion of using technology (blogs, wikis, video introductions, audio comments, a synchronous class) to build community. We will offer lessons learned: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
