【摘要】 二十一世纪是网络化、数字化、信息化的时代。信息技术的飞速发展改变着人们的教育观念和学习方式，计算机网络在教育教学中的应用越来越受到人们的重视。基于网络的学习共同体的研究将成为远程教育领域研究的一个热点。现在学习理论的研究已开始从强调个体思维者和其孤立心智转向注重知识的社会性建构，这为深入探讨学习共同体的概念，研究学习共同体的设计与构建提供了理论依据。本文以社会建构主义、情境认知理论、群体动力理论、教育交往理论以及合作学习理论为基础，阐释了学习共同体的基本概念，深入分析了基于网络的学习共同体的特点及作用，总结出基于网络的学习共同体的成员具有群体身份、个体身份、兼职身份等特征。一个真正意义上的学习共同体，应具有强有力的凝聚力，能提升学习者对学习的参与程度，提升他们的学习热情，提高学习的效率。本文对构建基于网络的学习共同体应考虑的主要问题进行了论述，其中包括主题的设计、学习动机的激发、对学习过程的支持以及学习管理者和组织者的作用。同时，本文作者还就提升共同体的凝聚力、提高成员间的交互质量等方面提出了相应的设计策略。对学习共同体的有效设计，能够增强网络教学中的人际交互，避免网络孤寂现象的发生，提升学习者参与交流的热情，激发学习者的学习动机，降低网络失学率，对提高网络教学质量具有重要意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 The Web has received widespread acceptance and use for creating and supporting learning activities. However, satisfaction with the Web for purposes of learning has not been as strong as proponents may have hoped. Creating a community for supporting learners is one strategy that has been recommended for increasing satisfaction. The designer and/or instructor of a course can have the goal of creating a learning community, but may not have a clear idea of how to make this happen. Understanding the sense of learning community and identifying successful strategies and techniques for enabling community to develop are critical steps toward making the goal a reality. The purpose of this paper is to expatiate foundational concept of learning community and present several strategies and techniques for community building in Web-based learning environments. A community is a group of people who are socially interdependent, who participate together in discussion and decision-making,and who share certain practices that both define the community and are nurtured by it. Such a learning community is not easily formed. We should pay attention to lots of aspects of building learning community, such as sense of community, participance of students, different channels of interaction. Efficiency design can improve the learning quality in Web-based learning environment and reduce the drop out of students.更多还原
