• In Event: Gallery Walk Showcase
  In Showcase Session: Gallery 10 - Reflecting on the Field and Learner Engagement

Short Description

Although online communications can bring distant people, places and events together, online instruction has been known to engender feelings of isolation. To address this challenge, this presentation shares findings from a case-study that describes how students develop their sense of place in online classrooms. Because our sense of place influences how we perceive ourselves and our everyday interactions, it has the power to foster positive identities, belonging, responsibility to community, engagement, and improved academic outcomes.
