Asynchronous Learning Community

5 Stages of Development

1. Community has ACTIVE facilitator to nurture, guide, and monitor discourse among learners

2. Facilitator SUPPORTS interaction among group members as a means for knowledge construction and enhanced

processing




3. Communities permit a certain amount of leniency for play within their discourse and thus allow the social development

to build




4. Student-centered environment where instructor takes on multiple roles (instructional designers, facilitators, and assessors of grades and their teaching methods)

Instructor establishes curriculum, methods and media for content delivery

Instructor facilitates the communication and directs the learning

Instructor establishes a communal spirit

Instructor reads, assesses, reinforces and encourages the interactions and learning happening




Students are required to be actively involved and take responsibility for their learning

Students become proficient with the technology required for the course

Students use new methods of communication with both peers and instructors

Students strengthen their interdependency through collaboration with their peers
