CREATING COMMUNITY IN ONLINE SPACES
|
The Problem:
A national organization supporting Jewish education was looking for immediately applicable ways to bring relational learning into online spaces at the onset of the pandemic. They desired a cohesive, intentional, practical approach for the Jewish schools and leaders who were struggling to create connection and effective learning in an online setting. Our Solution: Gold Learning Solutions created an online, collaborative professional learning series. The series, rooted in Garrison’s Community of Inquiry Framework, used the concepts of “teaching, cognitive and, social presence” in online spaces in order to offer opportunities for participant exploration and application. Deliverables: Gold created digital spaces for connection and relationship building, along with additional resources for further exploration and development. The professional learning was designed to be both a space to experience and practice community building online. Participants had multiple opportunities to reflect on their learning with peers and consider direct application to their individual work settings through diverse formats, including building with paper and digital book creation. |
