Short Description

The Community of Inquiry has been used in numerous studies to date with over two million citations (Google Scholar, January 2016). However, these studies generally involve looking at a single discipline (business, education, nursing) or an entire school rarely are disciplinary differences examined as a potential factor in student outcomes. To address the issue, this study will examine the differences in instructional approach and students’ social, cognitive, and teaching presence according to academic disciplines.
