Abstract
As higher education is changing, the method of receiving education has also begun to evolve. This paper will explore changes that are occurring in the higher education system and its demands for online learning. Community in online classrooms is a relatively new and continually evolving concept in online education. Community will be defined within the scope of this paper and activities to promote community-building practices will be presented. Methods to invoke community creation in online classes will be demonstrated for designers and developers of online curriculum. In addition, the presentation will consider different instructional design models; including Morris, Kemp and Ross, and Reigeluth as building blocks for the design and development of interactive and community building online courses.
