           The authors attempt to test the framework of Garrison, Anderson and Archer's Community of Inquiry (CoI) model.  Their result suggest that the instrument is a valid but also split the teaching presence into one part relating to course design while a second part related to the behavior of the instructor.  A discussion follows.

           This paper describes a model that was created from work by tutors at Coventry Business School.  The model applies current theoretical thinking about collaborative learning in a design whose strength is its simplicity.  Emphasis is placed on the roles dialogue and discussions have in a social constructivist paradigm of learning.


           This article describes a different model for online learning based on work done by Fowler and Mayers (2000).  The history of ideas presented here are different from the others articles.  The ā€œCā€ model consists of Content (the declarative knowledge), Construction (knowledge construction during active learning), and consolidation (reflection and realization of learning)

           A description of the CoI framework and the recent research about it.  There is a section on instructional design, facilitating, and direct instruction during an online class.  This is followed by ideas for future research and new directions to look at.
