“…The first evaluation was conducted using the CoI model which was improved by Shea et al [17]. This model was composed of three separate coding schemes for investigating indications of social, cognitive, and teaching presences.…”

“…The coders were instructed to follow the same coding procedure that Shea et al [17] applied in a study to re-examine the CoI model.

“…Moreover, they encourage future research to evaluate the CoI model and the framework in disciplines other than education. As an attempt to meet this requirement, Shea et al [17] have examined the CoI model excluding metacognitive presence component and with minor modifications. However, their findings also highlight the necessity of improving the analytical model further, in particular, to enhance the reliability of the social presence construct.…”

Abstract-Among the discussion-content analytical tools in the field of e-learning research, the community of inquiry (CoI) model is extensively applied and continuously improved by its users. This model investigates the types of elements that are manifested through inquiry-based learning processes in online discussions. They are social, cognitive, teaching, and metacognitive presences. These elements are essential for meaningful student interactions to take place in online learning environments. Particularly, the metacognitive presence construct of the CoI model discovers the students' ability of self and co-regulation of learning in an online learning environment. However, the metacognitive presence construct of the CoI model has not been evaluated along with the other components of the model. Therefore, in this paper the CoI model was re-evaluated to determine its reliability in analysing discussions in online courses on Information Technology related subjects. The evaluation was carried out on the basis of four online courses designed and developed for a distance learning programme in Sri Lanka. The paper discusses the modifications that were needed to make the model more applicable for conducting discussion-content analysis in similar types of online learning environments, and reports on the results of the final evaluation. The findings of the study imply that the theoretical framework of the CoI model needs to be improved to properly enclose the metacognitive presence component. In addition to that, the study adds points to the CoI model supporting for its well applicability and reliability in analysing online discussion content in Information Technology related courses.

OverviewW ITH PRESSURES TO INCREASE ACCESS to higher education, colleges and universities have focused on increasing the number of online courses and programs offered. Higher education is also being criticized for its retention and graduation rates, and pressure is building to find solutions. To ensure that online learning can help address these problems, professionals dedicated to online learning are under pressure to explore and evaluate strategies for getting students engaged in their online studies. These pressures are the genesis and reason for this monograph.By applying the theories and techniques for student engagement in online learning, instructors and designers of online courses can improve and increase student engagement and help higher education produce graduates who can contribute to their families, communities, and the economy. The theories and research reviewed in this monograph provide important clues as to how to help students learn, stay enrolled, and finish a degree.Engagement techniques may be one key to making online learning productive for the institution but, more importantly, ensuring that students are successful as they pursue a college degree. In fact, achieving student engagement in online courses may be more important than it is in on-campus courses because online students have fewer ways to be engaged with the institution and perhaps greater demands on their time and attention as well.
