How can students in an online classroom of one, often sitting in solitude in front of a computer, experience community? Theauthors suggest that in part, the answer lies in creating invitational online educational spaces through the use of ArtisticPedagogical Technologies (ATPs), particularly Photovoice (PV) a teaching strategy. A Zen paradox (or Zen koan) discussionis undertaken utilizing Palmer’s (2007) six paradoxes of pedagogical design as a framework for understanding how PV createsinvitational classrooms through the presence of paradox.
