• In Event: DDL- Presence & Active Learning in Online Contexts

Short Description

During the recent pandemic, universities had to quickly shift to remote teaching and learning. To determine how effectively newly remote courses in one large College of Education in the United States supported social, cognitive, and teaching presences recommended by the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model, a self-study with instructor and student surveys was conducted. This presentation synthesizes survey results from 65 instructors and 70 student respondents which indicated challenges to supporting social presence in particular.
