Webinar Description:
In an educational Community of Inquiry students and teachers collaboratively engage in purposeful critical discourse and reflection to construct personal meaning and to confirm mutual understanding. The CoI theoretical framework is a collaborative-constructivist concept process of creating learning experiences through the development of three interdependent elements – social, cognitive, and teaching presence. CoI is especially useful in social sciences, such as law. During the pandemic, the CoI framework proved valuable for distance learning.
In this webinar, Professor Joshua Aaron Jones will offer tips for grading electronically with a discussion about creative use of applications to heighten social, cognitive, and teaching presence, thereby developing a stronger community of inquiry.
