Description
Students in online courses often struggle with isolation, motivation, and connection. Using the Community of Inquiry framework, we redesigned a three-course educational research sequence to improve retention and engagement. Key design elements included consistent base groups, critical friends, and reflective research journals. Students in the revised sequence reported significantly higher levels of Teaching, Cognitive, and Social Presence.
