    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.

    Very useful page detailing items to consider in building an online community. Most interesting of all is the comment that 'good content is spread by your community'.

    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.

    This web article published by Faculty Focus suggests that students are more willing to ask questions and interact with their fellow students in face to face settings if they have been offered the opportunity to engage through synchronous online tools. It then outlines reasons why these tools are beneficial for learning.

    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.

    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.

    Would a certain stage of online communities building allow us to use Instagram? Having in mind that we are all different some of us who are visual types might even like a photo from time to time instead of several dozen lines of text.
