Written reflections of 113 occupational therapy clinical doctoral students who graduated from an online program between 2007 and 2013 were analyzed for themes which reflected transformative learning and characteristics of curricular design which promoted transformative learning. Qualitative analyses of written reflections were performed. Several themes emerged which are presented using the framework of Person/Learner, Environment/Learning Context, and Occupation/Engagement in Learning Activities. Strategies such as active learning; assignments that directly apply to students’ work settings; implementation of a cohort model; and use of reflection, dialog, and project implementation appear to be effective in facilitating transformative learning in an online clinical doctoral program.

With the rise of the digital age, the concept of anywhere and anytime learning has become a stunning reality, therefore embedding learning within one's daily life more securely than previous decades. Impactful is one's daily community through which each person engages, formally and informally engaging. As distance learning environments stealthily become a normal expectation, the embedding of learning experiences into communities of engagement arises. Focusing upon curricular design that emphasizes the engagement of different colleagues within the community, towards framing information in new and different ways, is of grounding impact upon the success of online learning success. A presentation of earning understandings, framed through digital pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy, are advanced supports through the social collegial community in which one currently lives. Further, embedding the concept of collegial communities within distance learning supports rethinking curricular design, thru values, professional standards, competences, capabilities, and behavioral dispositions.

This chapter examines the need for a theoretically-informed approach to collaborative English for Academic Purpose (EAP) pedagogy and research. It discusses the relevance of online collaborative learning in EAP and the call for a theoretically-informed facilitative framework to guide the use of online collaborative writing tools to sustain learning communities and language learning. It establishes the importance of virtual learning communities as catalysts for online collaboration and discusses the need to examine technological affordances, adopting an ecological perspective to inform curricular design. The chapter examines the relevance of the Community of Inquiry model and its three presences: cognitive, social and teaching, as a theoretical basis to inform a facilitative framework to design online collaborative EAP writing tasks. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the interactions of these three presences, details on how they can inform online EAP collaborative writing practices and the need for future research in this area.
