Stonehouse  \nUniversity of North Dakota  \nSusan Splichal  \nUniversity of North Dakota  \nCollaborative online learning has been adopted at all levels of education, in PK-12 public schools and universities, yet studies find student responses to the experience somewhat unpredictable. In this study, the authors draw on the practice of incorporating book study blogs at the University of North Dakota to engage doctoral students in a collaborative discourse and knowledge creation. Self-and peer-assessment data derived from end-of-course evaluations in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2014 are used to frame a discussion concerning the development of self-regulating online collaborative learning communities. This study highlights positive outcomes for book study teams sharing high expectations of academic achievement and professional behavior, supportive relationships, and modeling of leadership qualities.  \nKeywords: Online collaborative learning (OCL), professional learning community (PLC), networked learning community (NLC), book study blogs, graduate education, educational leadership, group dynamics, and team skills  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 16, No. 2– November, 2015 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2015 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nIntroduction  \nTheories of learning for the 21st century, often referred to as the “Knowledge Age”(Scardamalia & Bereiter, 2006), emphasize collaboration and knowledge-building rather than the transmission of knowledge more commonly associated with 20th century instructional practices. Writers claim this shift challenges educators to meet new and unprecedented learning needs while also redesigning instruction to take advantage of the exponential growth of the Internet. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (2013), a national organization claiming broad-based support from educators, business leaders, and civic and community groups, posits the essence of the current debate regarding instructional change to be summarized as the “3Rs”(reading, writing, and arithmetic) and“4Cs ” (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation) . The 3Rs, reflected in basic standards of literacy and numeracy, are publically decried as inadequate for learners in the “Knowledge Age.”While arguing that effective teachers in any century have enabled the development of the 4Cs, the current debate implies the need for intentional planning of instruction designed to achieve the highest level of thinking and teamwork. Learners are now expected to collaborate through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), Networked Learning Communities (NLCs), and Online Communities of Learning (OCLs) . Positive interdependence among participants in online communities is enhanced through diverse instructional methods (Woo Nam & Zellner, 2011) .  \nProfessional Learning Communities  \nGraduate courses for PK-12 instructional leadership at the University of North Dakota (UND) engage students in action-based PLCs modeled on seminal works spanning a decade. (DuFour & Eaker 1998 ; DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many 2006; and Hord & Sommers 2008) . A framework practiced in local schools, PLCs are “inclusive groups of people, motivated by a shared vision, who support the work of each other, finding ways .  \n. . to enquire on their practice and together learn better and new approaches that will enhance all pupils’ learning”( Stoll & Seashore Louis, 2007, p. 6). Driven in large part by high profile conferences and step-by-step manuals, the PLC movement gathered momentum in the early years of the 21st century to become a ","cbCaidLpzRsKKRAs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidLpzRsKKRAs","pdf",341389,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Professional Learning Communities\n## Networked Learning Communities","[{\"question\":\"How does the study use book study blogs in online learning communities?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how incorporating book study blogs at the University of North Dakota engages doctoral students in collaborative discourse and knowledge creation.\"},{\"question\":\"What data supports the study’s discussion?\",\"answer\":\"Self- and peer-assessment data derived from end-of-course evaluations in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2014 are used to frame the discussion.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes does the study report for book study teams?\",\"answer\":\"The study highlights positive outcomes, including shared high expectations for academic achievement and professional behavior, supportive relationships, and modeling of leadership qualities.\"}]","Book Study Blogs - Creating Self-Sustaining Online Learning Communities for Graduate Students of Educational Leadership | PDF",1792093331,43]
