UNVEILING THE IMPACT: A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION OF A COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY-BASED ONLINE COURSE, ASSESSING COGNITIVE, SOCIAL, AND TEACHING PRESENCE
Abstract
This study conducts a thorough investigation into the effectiveness of a Community of Inquiry (CoI)-based online course, aiming to unveil its impact on cognitive, social, and teaching presence. The research employs a comprehensive examination, integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches to assess the multifaceted dimensions of the CoI framework. By scrutinizing participant interactions, cognitive engagement, and instructional design, the study seeks to contribute nuanced insights into the overall efficacy of the CoI model in fostering a rich and meaningful online learning experience. The findings are expected to inform instructional design practices and enhance the understanding of key elements influencing online course effectiveness.
