This paper builds on the model we have developed for creating quality online learning environments higher education. In that argue college-level needs to reflect what know about in general, understand higher-education contexts, and our emerging knowledge of largely asynchronous environments. Components include a focus learner roles, building, assessment, community, various forms “presence.” this two components—teaching presence community—and review rationale benefits an emphasis community We...

The COVID-19 pandemic forced institutions of higher education around the world to quickly transition forms distance education, including synchronous and asynchronous online learning. Often lacking conceptual, empirical, practical understanding pedagogy, many have met this endeavor with mixed success. It seems inevitable that learning will continue play a key role in all sectors and, accordingly, pedagogy deserves more mainstream focus. To help build joint foundational knowledge between...

Assessment can be seen as the engine that drives student course activity, online or off. It is particularly important in encouraging and shaping collaborative activity online. This paper discusses three sorts of activity—collaborative discussion, small group collaboration, exams. In each these areas, it provides both theoretical grounding practical advice for assessing, so encouraging, collaboration courses.
