Covenants - Application to Online Learning
According to the Handbook of Online Learning:
- Idea of covenant applies well to online dialogues because it suggests a convocation that people enter, not based on a formal contract, explicit rules of debate, or elaborate preparation, but simply arising from a “coming together with a simple, clearly understood purpose in mind.
- Also has connotation of making a promise that reflects on one’s conduct and way of being, both as a person and as a member of a gathering or community.
