13. Reflection
What are our fears with teaching face-to-face, online
or blended?
Are we encouraging learners’ curiosity or are we
stifling it?
Are we encouraging learners to learn or pass
assessments?
What are some of the complaints learners have
about our classes?
What are we doing to ensure that learners have the
best experience within our classrooms? And is there
anything we can do to improve that experience?
Are we doing everything we can do on our end to
facilitate learning?
How does the Community of Inquiry framework help
me in my classroom?
Why should we incorporate the Community of
Inquiry framework?

Incorporate the
CoI?
Based on your own classes, how would you
