  • Monitoring students’ perceptions of their learning experience is an essential step to ensure that Teaching, Social, and Cognitive Presence are effectively supported throughout the course. The Community of Inquiry (CoI) Survey is a validated instrument that helps teachers collect structured feedback about these three dimensions, offering both quantitative and qualitative insights. 

    In the TEAMCARE approach, the CoI Survey is not only a tool for evaluation, but also a resource for reflective practice: it enables teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in their design and facilitation and to make informed adjustments that enhance the overall quality of the learning environment. 

    The following scenarios illustrate how to integrate the CoI Survey into ad online/blended courses to improve monitoring and assessment.
