Strategies to Build a Community of Learners in Online Classes
Irwin, Bradley
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2022 Conference (30th, Reykjavik, Iceland, Aug 17-19, 2022)
This paper describes the use of screencast feedback to enhance teaching presence and weekly self-reflection surveys to enhance social presence among students and build a community of learners. These approaches were found to diminish the feeling of isolation in online learning environments. Further findings indicated that this multimodal approach to providing feedback helped build a rapport between the teacher and students which led to increased motivation and task engagement. These strategies to build a community of learners will be of particular interest to educators looking for innovative approaches to improving teaching and social presence in online learning environments while also providing personalized, formative feedback.
