In addition, in a unionized environment,bargaining unit rules may make it difficult to require adjunct faculty to attend professionaldevelopment meetings.In 2015, Inside Higher Ed conducted a Survey of College and University Faculty WorkplaceEngagement in conjunction with researchers from Gallup [2].

For successful online learning communities,there must be three phases of cognition: triggering, exploration, and integration. The triggeringphase is when a student is first prompted to action; they read a topic they are required to respondto and they post their initial reactions to the topic. The exploration phase is when a student isprompted to explore the topic further by the responses they read that other students wrote in thetriggering phase. This includes doing further research on a topic in order to support an argumentbeing made against another student’s post
