• Online Learning Communities with a Catholic Flair

  

  For a year now, I have been working through some ideas on how to ensure that a Catholic higher education institution, such as my own, maintains its Catholic identity when offering more online courses and programs. In particular, I wanted to work through how to ensure that the focus on communities and relationship-centered teaching and […]

• Online Learning Communities Polls

  

  For awhile now I have been preoccupied with thoughts about the future of education, and the extent to which we want to rely on online education; over this past year, this train of thought has been traveling through areas of higher education and Catholic universities for how to better create online learning communities. Ideas from […]

• Catholic Identity and Online Education

  

  Originally posted on Daily Theology:
  What is it that makes an education Catholic? Can one get a Catholic education online? Would a degree from an online program be any more or less Catholic than one from a “traditional” college or university? As I was thinking about this post for today, I wanted in particular to…

• Online Learning Communities: A Dominican Conversation

  

  At my school on Tuesday, September 23rd, Dominican University hosted our fifth annual Caritas Veritas Symposium.

• What Makes For a Good Online Community?

  If you have been following my posts this summer (summing up here), then you know one of the issues I am currently investigating is how to translate the Catholic approach to higher education from a face-to-face context to an online context.  For us at Dominican University, that means a continued focus on our relationship-centered approach […]

  As reported by The Atlantic, secular beliefs are on the rise among young people, and conservative Christians are withdrawing from secular society whilst demanding their religious beliefs be tolerated, even if it means discrimination and intolerance.  And this week’s Supreme Court ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby and other similar businesses that are owned by […]

• An Autoethnography of Collegium – Day Three

  

  Day 3: Monday, June 23rd The reason I came to Collegium is for a specific purpose, one that could potentially help my university.  So it is interesting that what I have gotten out of it so far has been more relevant to a research project that has been in the back of my mind for […]
