The University is unique in that it serves and offers graduate and undergraduate courses to students in many different locations and through a variety of delivery methods. University campus is a residential campus that teaches the traditional aged student. The campus population is approximately 1,800 students who are mostly Florida residents, with international students representing 18 different countries. Twenty-one centers located in seven states support non-traditional student populations that may be civilian or military. The Center for Online Learning (COL) enrolls over 3,000 students who earn bachelor and master’s degrees.  \nThe University’s Benedictine foundation of Core Values (Respect, Integrity, Personal Development, Community, Responsible Stewardship, and Excellence) holds the university community accountable to students no matter where they are located. Throughout the university core values are infused in all classes and university activities. The University developed and subscribes a model of preferred pedagogy for all courses whether online, blended or face-toface. Our preferred pedagogy challenges traditional pedagogical models of curriculum delivery and is a change in philosophy from “stand and deliver” to active learning techniques. At times, this implementation can be challenging to create a sense of community in the online classroom.  \nMuch of the power of learning in an online classroom relies in its capacity to support multiple modes of communication including any combination of student-student, studen","cbCaiiGgGWpSx9PY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiGgGWpSx9PY","pdf",498173,13,"English","# Introduction\n## University context and preferred pedagogy\n## Community-building in online classrooms\n# Review of the Literature\n## Historical approaches and critical thinking\n## Research on engagement and classroom community","[{\"question\":\"How does the document describe Saint Leo University’s delivery model and pedagogy?\",\"answer\":\"It describes SLU as offering undergraduate and graduate courses in multiple locations and through varied delivery methods.
