Some activities that I may use to help create a community between my distant learners and my learners and the community are:
1. Community of practice (CoP) - this community offers students chances to share knowledge, work together on projects, and learn from one another. Some tools that I can use to build this community are study groups and gamified learning platforms such as Kahoot.
2. Online residential learning communities - an online residential learning community can unite students with common hobbies, professions, or academic objectives from different geographical regions. Some tools that I can use to build this community are discussion forums, video conferencing, and collaborative workspaces.
