study used a qualitative analysis approach to review and organize thematically
the findings of 29 studies related to sense of community in online learning.

as well as suggest some areas for future research. The main themes identified
were the importance of early establishment of behaviours and activities that
facilitate community, the role that the instructor should play, the importance
of developing social presence and social cohesion amongst learners.
