Title
Convergent Transparency for Transformational Learning: Enhancing the Community of Practice Component of Virtual Andragogy
Synopsis:
Virtual Andragogy (VA) (Greene & Larsen, 2015 & 2017) offers instructional designers and distance educators a shared paradigm to holistically address the complexity of online learning for adults to develop transferable “affective, behavioral, and cognitive growth” (p. 6). This study explores the synergy of a key VA concept, Community of Practice, with Convergent Transparency, to support learner engagement in creating understanding that is personal, meaningful and transformational.
