Exploring the Intersection of Google Hangouts and the COI Framework to Impact the Student Learning Experience.

• In Event: DELT- Frameworks for Student Learning (v)

Short Description

Open communication tools such as Google Hangouts offer quick communicative experiences for student-teacher interaction, potentially going beyond traditional communication methods. The Community of Inquiry (COI) framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2001) positions that learning occurs through interaction and the intersection of three connected elements: social, teaching, and cognitive. The purpose of this study was to investigate how open communication tools can be used to impact the student learning experience while facilitating the COI framework.
