Abstract
This study resides at the intersection of digital literacies (ILA Standard 5) and communities of learners (evidence-based practice). An examination of self-studies and awards packets collected during 14 years of online teaching indicated that the instructor intentionally sought to harness online tools to support the formation and development of communities of learners. Of particular interest were the use of robust introductions, small group discussions, and authentic assessments. Similarities were evident between literature that describes offline communities of learners and the online communities forged in these courses. This study indicated that online teacher education courses that embrace social learning theories may be fertile ground for additional research. As education extends into online venues, such research is needed.
