Increasingly researchers and practitioners have highlighted the importance of developing a sense of community in online courses and programs. However, many questions remain about the best ways to develop community in online courses. A recent literature review highlighted how influential Alfred P. Rovai's research has been to researchers of connectedness and community in online higher education. However, some of this foundational research is over 20 years old. Given this, we conducted a review of Rovai's research on community to take a deeper analysis of Rovai's research and to identify themes across the studies, future areas of research, and implications for practice. In the following paper, we present the results of our inquiry.
