Choose Option 1 or Option 2.
Option 1:
Choose any course with which you are familiar. Assess that course in terms of its strengths and weaknesses in facilitating community. Use the concepts from "Community, Courses and Maslow's Hierarchy" in your critique.
Option 2:
Tell us how we have done as community builders in creating and presenting this course.
Assess the Florida Online Academy in terms of its sthrengths and weaknesses in facilitating community.
Use the concepts from "Community, Courses and Maslow's Hierarchy" in your critique.
The introductory video demonstrates feelings of Culture Shock.
New technology and new ways to take classes can overwhelm students with Culture Shock. As a student yourself, in this Online Academy, you may have felt some Culture Shock yourself.
You've been leanring new technology as you teach and as you have been studying this course.
An antidote to the feelilngs Culture Shock is a sense of community, of knowing that you are not alone, that you are valued.
In this module we focus on concepts, techniques and tools that you can use to communicate with students and help them feel that they are part of a community that values them and their learning.
The tools we cover are Course Email, Discussion Topics and Groups. In each case you can take the lessons covering the tools in any sequence you want.
You can take the Quizzes at any time, even before you take the lessons.
Once you pass the Quizzes with a score of 80% or higher, you're done with those lessons.
The presentation on "Community, Courses and Maslow's Hierarchy" has ways to think about courses as tools for community building.
The other leesons under Community tie everything together. They present ways to think about using the tools in the Learning Management System in order to build community and they give you opportuinities to discuss several real-world scenarios.

Partially written and it's a mess.

Recommended Discussion Areas
To maintain order within your discussions, creating separate discussion areas (Desire2Learn Forums) is recommended. The number and names of discussions are influenced by your curricular objectives and structure within the class. In addition to the content-area discussions, we recommend that you also create the following discussion areas:
* Introductions
This is an area where the students can introduce themselves to their fellow classmates. This discussion area is especially helpful in online courses to help establish a sense of community.
* Student Lounge or Cyber Cafe
This is an area where the students can discuss non-course related issues. The actual name should be influenced by your discipline and course.
* Technical Questions
Establishing a technical questions area provides a place for the student to ask questions and look for answers. In many classes, the students will help each other.
* Reference Desk
This is an area where students can ask questions on where to find or how to use resources in the library relevant to their class assignments. Upon faculty request, this area can be monitored by library staff.
* Virtual Office
The virtual office provides a place for students to seek clarification about an assignment or request additional information. By posting these materials in the virtual office, all students can review the answers so the same question does not need to be responded to several times.
