Abstract

The chapter draws from a case study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic with the purpose to examine effective ways of teaching online that engender collaboration among students and create a virtual classroom community. The findings reveal that factors such as planning intentionality, flexibility, collaboration, and meeting students' socio-emotional needs are fundamental to the development of a sense of community in online classrooms. The chapter enhances the understanding of effective online teaching practices.
