Starting near the ground level, the water droplets provide the context of me in this particular role. I think many of us could have multiple trees and varying degrees of raindrops for our teaching and learning experiences. These water droplets of context feed into the roots and framework of the tree, the community of inquiry (COI). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Up the trunk and amongst the leaves and branches, the three pillars of COI appear, teaching, social and cognitive presence. Teaching presence holds the center of tree as it&#8217;s closest and most directly controlled by the facilitator, with social and cognitive presence connected at each side. All of presences share reliance on the water, roots, and leaves of the tree and removing any part would likely kill the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">This tree then produces apples which contain juicy strategies and considerations I can use a facilitator to help nurture the COI tree.\u00a0From Richard et. al (2018) some apple examples of facilitator strategies for my context emerged :<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\"> Setting clear expectations to allow learners to know exactly what is and isn&#8217;t covered,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Making good use of time, in my context was slightly different than suggested by Richard et. al (2018) as I generally have limited time with learners and must ensure to cover all the learning outcomes\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Having meaningful discussions by having flexibility in facilitation to apply knowledge to their context and goals<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Additionally Vaughan et al (2013) provided other insights that made excellent apples for my context including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">searching, discussing, finding pratictical problems and applications of the knowledge<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">encouraging a sustained community beyond the workshop for further support, collaboration and shared purpose<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Allowing for timely reflection and the ability to share further<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">I hope my COI tree continues to grow and I can plant more until I have a whole vineyard of COI trees for my different teaching and learning experiences.
