Paper Abstract:
|
The modern-day university is undergoing major transformations in teaching delivery and design to accommodate massive
growth in scale of student enrolments, especially remote learners. Part of this requires a fundamental adjustment to the
ways in which we consider the student experience, one of which is the act of dedicated online students participating in a
collegial higher-education experience. This is prompted by consistent research highlighting a lack of online student
satisfaction in levels of interaction with peers and educators, and an unfulfilling subject experience. This paper will present
the ways in which interaction, community, and sociality has been discussed historically in the online learning literature.
Finally, it will expand upon this traditional understanding as to how quality learning design(s) could improve cohort
experience for the next generation of online learners and instructors alike. |
