The Community of Inquiry framework: Future Directions in the Covid-19 Era

Abstract

PCF10 Sub-theme: Inspiring Innovations // Over the past couple of years, the majority of higher education institutions have pivoted to a form of remote or emergency learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the possibilities and constraints associated with these blended and online approaches to learning were in many ways unfairly put to the test as many educators lacked a research-based framework to guide the redesign of their courses and programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) and the Shared Metacognition (MC) construct (Garrison & Akyol, 2015a) could be used to intentionally design, facilitate, and direct a collaborative constructive learning environment in order for students to learn how to co-regulate their learning (shared metacognition). // Paper ID 1021
