Community of Inquiry Frameworka process model of learning in online and

blended educational environmentsgrounded in a collaborative constructivist

view of higher educationassumes effective online learning requires

the development of a community of learners that supports meaningful inquiry and deep learning

(Garrison et al., 2000, p.2)

Social Presencethe ability of participants in a community of

inquiry to project themselves socially and emotionally -- as ‘real’ people

the degree to which participants in computer mediated communication feel socially and emotionally connected

Social Presence - Elementsaffective expression (expressing emotion,

self-projection)open communication (learning climate, risk

free expression)group cohesion (group identity, collaboration)

Cognitive Presencethe extent to which learners are able to

construct and confirm meaning through sustained reflection and discourse in a critical community of inquiry

Cognitive Presence - Elementstriggering event (sense of puzzlement)exploration (sharing information & ideas)integration (connecting ideas)resolution (synthesizing & applying new

ideas)

Teaching Presencethe design, facilitation and direction of

cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing personally meaningful and educationally worthwhile learning outcomes

Teaching Presencedesign and organization (setting curriculum

& activities) facilitation (shaping constructive discourse) direct instruction (focusing & resolving

issues)

CoI Survey9 social presence items (3 affective

expression, 3 open communication, 3 group cohesion)

12 cognitive presence items (3 triggering, 3 exploration, 3 integration, 3 resolution)

13 teaching presence items (4 design & facilitation, 6 facilitation of discourse, 3 direct instruction)
