Abstract
This chapter discusses opportunities for serving community college students in online learning environments. Online community college students represent a unique population of higher education students because they are frequently first-generation students with developmental education requirements—novice students. There is a notable difference in student outcomes between university and community college students in the online format. Community college students typically have higher attrition and lower end-of-course grades in online courses compared to face-to-face courses. Although the reasons for this are still largely unknown, the statistics point to an urgent need to consider the design and delivery of online courses for this unique population. Through an examination of three learning theories, the authors discuss a variety of instructional strategies geared toward learner autonomy, dialogue, metacognition, self-regulation, feedback, affective communication, and multimedia.
