Virtual Meetings: Fostering Self-Determined Learning to Connect Online Doctoral Students
Adult Learning, v35 n3 p175-178 2024
The convenience and flexibility of online doctoral programs make them popular with working adults. However, online degree programs may lack relationship-building features, making students feel disconnected and isolated. These feelings are more pronounced as students enter their program's dissertation portion as they become responsible for setting schedules and deadlines. This reflection discusses one way to combat student isolation-- establishing community through virtual meetings where doctoral candidates can share and offer support to encourage members as they work toward dissertation completion.
