Community of inquiry

The Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework is a conceptual model developed to guide the design and assessment of online and blended educational experiences. It emphasizes the importance of three interdependent elements that contribute to effective learning in a community setting: social presence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence. 1. **Social Presence**: This element refers to the ability of participants to project themselves socially and emotionally in the online environment, allowing for a sense of belonging and interpersonal connection.
