Dempsey, P.R. (2021). Creating Transformative Online Communities in Higher Education.New York: Routledge.
Combining three related ideas – complexity theory, transformative learning, and the Community of Inquiry model of teaching and learning – this creative, practical and insightful framework provides instructors an approach to the development of compelling virtual learning experiences for students. As we shift from presenting information to creating experiences, the book offers an evidence-based disruption of the current thinking about course design. And moves us from content to challenge-based learning.
