Community of Inquiry in an Online Undergraduate Information Technology Course
نویسنده
چکیده
The Community of Inquiry (COI) theoretical framework suggests that successful higher education experiences are supported by the presence and interaction of cognitive, social and teaching elements. Since the COI model has been widely used for examining quality of asynchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) educational interactions, its applicability to synchronous CMC interactions is relatively unknown. Moreover, as the model’s coding scheme was mainly designed for analyzing online asynchronous discussions, it is more sensitive to longer postings than the shorter and more discursive exchanges present in online synchronous (chat) discourse.
