Indigenous Talking Circles: Transforming Online Asynchronous Learning

• In Event: From the Margins to the Middle: Centering Learners From Understudied Environments

Abstract

This literature review explores indigenous talking circles as a pedagogical practice, and presents implications for their integration into online learning environments. Given their relevance amidst the growth of online learning and in response to calls for the decolonization of education, the study examines key literature on the conceptualization of talking circles, their pedagogical features, protocols, and considerations for their implementation in online learning. The findings provide insights for educators and learning designers to integrate talking circles into their teaching, particularly in online asynchronous environments.
