Digital Competencies Supporting Processes of Fully Online Learning. The Fully Online Learning Community (FOLC) model associates key processes of collaborative learning (categorized by Social and Cognitive Presence) with digital competencies defined by the General Technology Competency and Use (GTCU) framework (Desjardins, 2005).
