Nurturing the Culture of Learning in an Online Environment through an In-depth Course Redesign

• In Event: CLT - Culture in Online Learning Environments

Short Description

Learning culture of an online course enables students feel part of the course and community, while supporting their learning endeavors. It is largely impacted by learner’s self-identity and group membership, their interactions with peers and instructions, and course environment. Yet, literature is limited on how to make such culture inclusive. This study focuses on course re-design considerations that would form nurturing learning culture in a graduate online course. Findings and implications will be discussed.
