Description
Although the importance of learning community to student learning is well recognized, how to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) to facilitate online learning community development is one of the most significant challenges. Building on the community of inquiry framework and sense of community perspective, this research proposes a set of design principles for the development of a virtual learning community through ICTs' use in online learning environments. By adopting an action design research method, we analyzed the case of our own online teaching course in such an unprecedented time of COVID-19 outbreak with the focus on addressing practical challenges facing fellow educators and us. This research is arguably the first to explore the design principles of technology-enabled online learning community development. This research, when completed, will shed light on challenges in enhancing the learning outcomes and students’ satisfaction with online classrooms in higher education and, more generally, adult learning.
