Abstract

This chapter deals with an online course using innovative pedagogy and innovative technology to enable transformative learning. It concerns the application of reflective practices including mindfulness, guided contemplation, and journal writing as the groundwork for active listening, inquiry, and dialogue that builds new meaning for individuals and groups.
