An Analysis of Community Formation in Faculty Online Learning Communities
written by Alexandra C. Lau, Melissa H. Dancy, Joel C. Corbo, Charles R. Henderson, and Andy Rundquist
Faculty Online Learning Communities (FOLCs) are designed to provide faculty support in the year following their attendance at the New Faculty Workshop. We hypothesize that membership in a community of faculty with shared interest in improving their teaching will lead to sustained adoption of research-based instructional strategies. We are not yet at the stage in our project where we can report on long-term effects of the FOLCs, but in this paper we present our initial analysis of the community that formed in each of our FOLC cohorts. Through interview data we show that most participants felt their FOLC was a community and we report on their reasons for feeling this way. We also discuss how the community was a support for the members' teaching efforts.
