Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Sociology
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Existing theories on online learning communities primarily focus on course-level dynamics.

  • Current research on online communities in higher education has limitations in scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review theories of online learning communities in higher education.

  • To propose a layered framework for understanding and researching online communities in degree programs.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of online learning community theories.
  • Analysis of factors influencing community perceptions in online degree programs.
  • Development of a multi-layered framework (institutional, program, professional).

Main Results:

  • Online communities are shaped by multiple partners beyond instructors and peers.
  • Community salience varies across different stages of a learner's program.
  • A holistic approach is needed to understand and foster online communities.

Conclusions:

  • True online communities are influenced by diverse partnerships that must be researched.
  • Educators should guide learners on the purpose of community formation during and after programs.
  • Further research is needed for holistic community development in online degree programs.
