Community of Inquiry Teaching Infographic<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rationale for Design\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Community of Inquiry model is a framework that allows educators to align their online courses\/learning environments with research that shows positive outcomes in learning satisfaction and overall learning (Garrison & Arbaugh, 2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my own teaching context, I coach and mentor other teachers in the public K-12 education system. Since I am working with colleagues who are often knowledgeable and keenly aware of curriculum and pedagogy, the infographic I designed fosters their faciliatory skills in online environments using COI as their framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers in the K-12 public system who are moving their learning environments from brick-and-mortar classrooms to elaborate digital spaces may not realize the impact of these three presences in how they engage their students. My end goal for this design was to have a concise and easy-to-use infographic with clickable links that enhance their understanding and usage of COI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking Down the Infographic<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Introduce the context in which the COI will be relevant and show a graphic of the typical three-circle model, overlapping the educational experience as the common and important factor in the relationship.<\/li>
  • Define each of the three presences: Social, Cognitive and Teaching.<\/li>
  • A brief descriptor of the importance and relevance of COI to our practice<\/li>
  • Give concrete examples of what each presence \u2018looks like\u2019 in practice<\/li>
  • Create a section that links various learning modalities outside of the infographic<\/li>
  • References<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    While this infographic is printable and in PDF form, its full functionality is meant for a digital platform.<\/p>\n\n\n
