How do we build community online? This is the question we get asked most frequently in Camp Design Online. Just like face-to-face classes, there are a number of different ways to create community and bring people together. Zoom, Voicethread, Hypothes.is, Google docs, Slack, and social media are just a few places where many of us have sought out engagement and found community personally and professionally. Why not blogs? Our instructors are doing amazing things with their courses in an incredibly difficult time.
Time is not something many of us have in spades these days, which is why we thought postcards were a great way to promote our community. Postcards are short, sweet and traditionally provide a glimpse into a trip or vacation. This is what we hope to share here: a glimpse into the work of our community in the hopes that it inspires and encourages.
Every Wednesday we will share a “postcard from camp.” They will be short and sweet, focusing on a small piece of online learning. We hope you enjoy this series as much as we have. Reach out to Jordan Noyes if you’d like to be featured in a “postcard from camp.”
