Abstract

A professional learning community (PLC) is an ongoing process that allows faculty to collaborate to achieve better results for students. The essential role in any PLC is to provide a collaborative environment in which online instructors can reflect on practice and student outcomes, and make changes that improve teaching and learning for students. Due to the nature of online teaching, participation in a professional learning community may be a challenge. This study provides insight into online instructor perceptions of a web 2.0 professional learning community and how it has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.
