While online course delivery in higher education has been increasing for several decades, students can face unique challenges in the digital environment. At a small university in Western Canada, online and blended learning have been a major focus for course delivery since 1995. Considering the risk that students could experience a lack of meaningful connection with their fellow students, the university launched a not-for-credit online learning module in 2006 that was designed to provide new-to-program students with resources and activities to encourage learning community development. Since the first module was launched, several programs at the university have adapted the original module to suit their specific needs. In this paper, we explore the experiences of graduate students in three programs over an eight-year period. Students completed surveys focused on the role of three module activities in helping them develop a supportive online learning community. The findings were organized under three areas that revealed elements of the module that worked well, areas for improvement, and suggestions for module additions. The recommendations call for making modules that are not-for-credit, mandatory, support both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, use only one web-based entry point, consider time zones, and support students’ ability to balance their education with their out-of-school commitments. For those who may wish to include similar activities for their students, we have included a link in the paper to the Open Educational Resource that was developed in support of our research.
几十年来,高等教育中的在线课程一直在增加,但学生在数字环境中面临着独特的挑战。在加拿大西部的一所小型大学,自1995年以来,在线和混合学习一直是课程交付的主要重点。考虑到学生可能会与其他同学缺乏有意义的联系,该大学于2006年推出了一个非学分在线学习模块,旨在为新入学的学生提供资源和活动,以鼓励学习社区的发展。自第一个模块推出以来,该大学的几个项目对原来的模块进行了调整,以满足他们的具体需求。在本文中,我们探讨了研究生的经历在三个项目在八年期间。学生们完成了关于三个模块活动在帮助他们建立支持性在线学习社区中的作用的调查。调查结果被组织在三个领域,这些领域揭示了模块运行良好的元素、需要改进的领域和对模块添加的建议。建议要求制作非学分、强制性、支持同步和异步协作、仅使用一个基于web的入口点、考虑时区、支持学生平衡其教育与校外活动的能力的模块。对于那些可能希望为他们的学生提供类似活动的人,我们在论文中包含了一个开放教育资源的链接,该资源是为支持我们的研究而开发的。

The aim of this investigation was to gain a broad sense of the implementation of digital social networks for teaching and learning by instructors in higher education. We were particularly interested in examples of instructors' use of digital social networks in their courses, the benefits and challenges of specific platforms for teaching and learning purposes, and the perceived role of digital social networks in teaching and learning during the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants in this investigation (n=336) were faculty and graduate students. Data was collected via an electronic questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions using Qualtrics. The quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics. The data analysis also included qualitative data analysis of textual responses provided to various questionnaire items. The results illustrate the ways in which instructors successfully apply or integrate digital social networks into teaching and learning, broadly and with specific digital social networks. Yet, the findings also highlight several complexities that instructors have experienced when considering digital social networks in their teaching practices such as data privacy issues, misinformation, user interface issues, and the willingness of students to use less trendy digital networks, among other challenges.
本调查的目的是获得高等教育教师在教学和学习中使用数字社会网络的广泛意义。我们特别感兴趣的是教师在课程中使用数字社交网络的例子,用于教学目的的特定平台的好处和挑战,以及在2019冠状病毒病大流行的头几年,数字社交网络在教学中的作用。本次调查的参与者(n=336)是教师和研究生。数据是通过电子问卷收集的,其中包括使用qualics的封闭式和开放式问题。定量分析包括描述性统计。数据分析还包括对各种问卷项目的文本答复进行定性数据分析。结果说明了教师如何成功地将数字社交网络应用或整合到教学和学习中,包括广泛的和特定的数字社交网络。然而,调查结果也强调了教师在教学实践中考虑数字社交网络时遇到的一些复杂性,如数据隐私问题、错误信息、用户界面问题、学生愿意使用不太流行的数字网络等挑战。

Co-creation is an open practice where learners participate in decision-making about aspects of course design, which in our context has included various activities from course design to assessment decisions. After the OTESSA22 conference, this group of conference attendees reflected on co-creation practices and experiences in their respective post-secondary contexts. In this article we share reflections and challenges with co-creation as well as ideas to potentially overcome these challenges. This article, with examples shared from practice, serves as a starting point for ongoing dialogue about inclusive approaches to co-creation.
共同创造是一种开放的实践,学习者参与课程设计方面的决策,在我们的背景下,包括从课程设计到评估决策的各种活动。在otesa22会议之后,这群与会者在各自的大专背景下反思了共同创造的实践和经验。在这篇文章中,我们将分享关于共同创造的思考和挑战,以及可能克服这些挑战的想法。本文与实践中分享的示例一起,作为正在进行的关于共同创造的包容性方法的对话的起点。
