    This web article shares the results of a study exploring which types of interaction are most predictive of students' sense of community in online graduate courses at a US university. Interactions between learners which emerged as contributing the most to sense of community, in decreasing order of contribution, were (a) introductions, (b) collaborative group projects, (c) contributing personal experiences, (d) entire class online discussions, and (e) exchanging resources.

    This recording of a webinar organised by The eLearning Guild looks at the common reasons learners disengage in synchronous virtual environments, and which factors you can influence to change this. There are also five pdf resources including a helpful checklist on the features of an engaging online classroom.

    This web article looks at the question of how can we enable students to construct knowledge and demonstrate higher order thinking skills online? The authors provide a helpful critique of superficial attempts to build sustainable online communities for example where LMS's are used for the transmission of content in higher education and do not allow students to build knowledge or engage in higher order thinking.

    Highlights * We explore factors affecting students' engagement with Moodle and Facebook. * Students were not interested in using Moodle, yet active on Facebook. * We use Activity Theory as a lens for data interpretation. * Factors are categorized as technological, individual, and community levels.

    Interesting! As are a number of the papers suggested afterwards which I will bookmark too! As an aside you may be interested in the paper Cass Business School students present to the Moodle Research Conference last year: http://research.moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?d=7&rid=124 One point of interest I'm keen to follow is the possible rise in more student-led studies (at City?) - in this case, both surveying students and by students. I'm also interested in how we could look more at involving learners in the design process.

    I found this book the best single piece of information I have read throughout the course on online learning. I really like the fact that it has practical examples and ideas for a wide range of activities and learning outcomes. In my view that's refreshing because I think that the education literature can become sometimes too theoretical and abstract, elaborating on abstract descriptions of what and why should be done, but leaves you on your own when it comes to practical implementation of all the principles. I think that this is a great source of both theoretical and practical information on online learning.

    Neal, I plan to check this when putting foundations to my Project design.

    thanks Neal - I like the look of this one too - I am looking at motivation in my project so this might well be of use.
