Be sure by the end of the week complete our discussion requirements. 11/21, Wednesday:    Due: Group 2's Lesson 2 discussion grade sheet 11/25, Sunday:  Respond to all KEY questions; Respond to discussion question and/or respond to others' postings. Lesson 4 readings.

Based on your knowledge and the readings, do you think both sets of strategies different or similar.  Are they related to each other? If they are related to each other, what are the relationships between both sets?  Particularly, we need to discuss them in each strategy level.  For example, how does community-community interaction (ONLE) relate to online learning community (OL)? Some may argue Community-Community interaction is larger than online learning community so online learning community is a subset of Community-Community interaction. You may ...
