Session Summary

The Community of Inquiry Framework: 20 Years and Going Strong

Sat, April 18, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework views learning in such settings as supported by three interacting presences: cognitive presence, social presence, and teaching presence (Anderson, Rourke, Garrison, & Archer, 2001). In the twenty years since Garrison, Anderson, and Archer first shared their model of the kinds of supports needed to develop a robust community of inquiry in online environments, online learning has grown to be a major factor in higher education and the CoI framework has come to inform research and practice in online and blended learning around the world. This panel session will focus on the current state of research on the CoI and future directions
