  • simulating traditional face-to-face classroom methods using asynchronous online learning simply misses the point that we are operating in a new medium with unique properties. 
  • have both interaction and independence. Not long ago it was impossible to have both; more of one meant less of the other.
  • we identify connectivity and asynchronicity as the core properties of online learning, and which have the potential to create a uniquely effective higher-order learning environment.

  • focus must be on the cognitive aspects of the educational process if quality learning outcomes are to be the result.
  • integrate the interactive and reflective characteristics to enhance cognitive presence beyond that in even small face-to-face groups.
  • little progress has been made in understanding cognitive presence and higher-order learning effectiveness online
  • asynchronous online learning context, there are two properties– reflection and collaboration – that shape cognitive presence in ways unique to this medium.

      If a deep and meaningful learning outcome is the goal of an educational experience, then an understanding of cognitive presence is a priority.

      In an asynchronous online learning context, there are two properties- reflection and collaboration - that shape cognitive presence in ways unique to this medium.

      In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, asynchronous learning:
      Provides time to reflect,Permanent and precise nature of communication requires reflection,Reflection is used to interpret and construct meaning.
  • In contrast to the spontaneous verbal communication of face-to-face learning contexts, the asynchronous and largely written communication of asynchronous online learning would appear to provide the conditions that encourage if not require reflection.
  • reflection to interpret and construct meaning
  • It is important to understand the natural cycle of the learning process to effectively regulate the learning process.

      The natural cycle of the learning process:
      Perception of a need or problem. Exploration for relevant knowledge, (2.5?) constructing a meaningful explanation or solution. Resolving the dissonance through action.
  • Learning was inducing reflection through questions and actively monitoring this inquiry for the purpose of achieving understanding.
  • two dimensions that shape the practical inquiry model
  • deliberation-action and perception-conception

      The deliberation-action axis defines the reflection and collaboration properties of asynchronous learning.

      This process iterates between thought and action, and unifies the private and public worlds of inquiry.

      Perception-conception operates at the interface of these two worlds.
  • describes the process of creating meaning from experience and the process of creating cognitive presence. 
  • emphasis is on the generation of knowledge and less so on the control of learning activities
  • assume greater control of monitoring and managing the cognitive and contextual aspects of their learning.
