Virtual Schools Symposium, Alberta Education, Edmonton, Alberta, Seminar, Nov 25, 1999.

An Online Learning Community is the convergence of online learning and online communities.

I've discovered that the collaboration that occurs in such classroom communities is necessary for the process that others have called shared cognition.
