- Contacts and Context: How Three Professionals Understand the Collegial Environment of an Online Course as an Aspect of Meaningful Professional Engagement (PDF)
The research reported here found that the pattern of relationships sought and developed by three WIDE learners online over a span of five months mirrored participants' patterns of collegial interaction in other settings. The research identified three patterns: community-- in which primary importance is placed on colleagues within the school building; network-- in which colleagues beyond the local setting carry the most weight; and "loner"--in which collegial relationships are seen as of secondary importance or viewed as a detraction from the work at hand.
