CoI Framework

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework is a model for effective online learning through three key elements: social presence (students feel connected and comfortable sharing), cognitive presence (deep thinking and understanding), and teaching presence (guidance and structure provided by instructors). These elements work together to create a meaningful educational experience, encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and a supportive learning environment. By balancing these components, educators can design online courses that foster engagement, understanding, and a sense of community among students.
