Description: 1. Global Outreach in Africa through MOOCs
At the University of Virginia, we have been doing a research study with the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework in MOOCs. In this study, we have looked at the relationship to the learner’s perceived presence with retention and how different learner characteristics effect social, cognitive and teaching presence.
Data from the last four years will be summarized including:
• data from learners evaluating each presence,
• ethnicity, age and education affecting presence, and
• how customizing content might lead to higher improved presence.

CoI is important but sustainability is even more important.
