There is familiarity and comfort in the membership, recognition of group and individual identities, and even the predictability of lifespan within groups (Dron &amp; Anderson, 2014). The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Community of Inquiry<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (CoI) learning model is well-recognized and relies upon Social Presence, Cognitive Presence, and Teacher Presence within group contexts (Garrison, Anderson &amp; Archer, 2000). I have participated in numerous groups both as a learner and teacher that evidence components of this model. I am intrigued by research and theory around the Fully Online Learning Community (FOLC) (Childs, vanOostveen, Flynn &amp; 19 Clarkson, 2015) that democratizes the CoI by extracting Teacher Presence, and would like to learn more about its application in various contexts. I wonder if the FOLC requires a certain level of developmental maturity of participants and functions best in the post-secondary context. Reflecting on my digital presence, I acknowledge that I feel most comfortable practicing as a constructivist resident (White &amp; LeCornu, 2011) who contributes and constructs online within the safe walls of my groups, but I am beginning to see the potential and intrigue of other more connectivist structures that have developed alongside, including networks, sets, and collectives (Dron &amp; Anderson, 2014).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Childs, E., vanOostveen, R., Flynn, K. &amp; Clarkson, J.
