Dear Dawn,
Thanks for sharing with us your experience of 'creating a community' among distance learners. It's exciting to learn how learners and the community can collaborate in a project that furthers learning. In CoI, the collaboration and learning is purposeful and directed by the curriculum. Thats why it is a closed community. In CIF, which supports the example you have given , it is open and brings together community of practitioners.
Once gain thanks for this contribution. Let's now hear what others have to say.
Cheers,
Beatrice
