P11 D&D: Using the Community of Inquiry Framework for Library Science Course Design: An Eastern Caribbean Example

• In Event: Posters - Friday
  In Poster Session: Posters II - D&D

Short Description

This paper proposes how the Community of Inquiry (CoI) theoretical framework might be applied in the design of a library and information science course to be offered online to library staff in the Eastern Caribbean. The CoI with its constituent presences provides a framework for the establishment of an online community of learners. Library staff in the Eastern Caribbean will benefit from this approach since they are dispersed across the islands and are currently isolated from each other.
