This summary provides an overview of a study on improving teaching presence in virtual classrooms:
1. The study examined the three presences (social, cognitive, and teaching) that make up the Community of Inquiry model in blended and online courses. It specifically looked at how teaching presence relates to student satisfaction and instructor interaction.
2. A survey based on the Community of Inquiry instrument was administered to students to collect data on the three presences and how they may relate to demographics and differ between online and blended courses.
3. Preliminary results found the survey to have excellent reliability. Factor analysis also supported the validity of the three presences as distinct constructs.

Service-Learning (SL) as an instructional method is growing in popularity for giving back to the community while connecting the experience to course content. However, little has been published on using SL for online business students. This study highlights an exploratory mixed-methods, multiple case study of an online business leadership and ethics course utilizing SL as a pedagogical teaching tool with 81 students. Results from the study noted that hours completed exceeded those assigned and students identified outcomes for themselves, their university, and nonprofit organizations where they served. The outcomes of this study mirrored those identified by students in traditional face-to-face courses underscoring the value of SL projects in online courses in higher education.

In this paper we examine the Community of Inquiry framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000)
suggesting that the model may be enhanced through a fuller articulation of the roles of online learners.
We present the results of a study of 3165 students in online and hybrid courses from 42 two- and four-
year institutions in which we examine the relationship between learner self-efficacy measures and their
ratings of the quality of their learning in virtual environments. We conclude that a positive relationship
exists between elements of the CoI framework and between elements of a nascent theoretical construct
that we label “learning presence”. We suggest that learning presence represents elements such as self-
efficacy as well as other cognitive, behavioral, and motivational constructs supportive of online learner
self-regulation. We suggest that this focused analysis on the active roles of online learners may contribute
to a more thorough account of knowledge construction in technology-mediated environments
expanding the descriptive and explanatory power of the Community of Inquiry framework. Learning

Inquiry in Online and Blended Learning Environments.

1. Introduction
Online education continues to grow and is playing and increasingly significant role in US higher education. Recent research indicates that
more 4 million higher education learners, i.e. 25% of all college students, are enrolled in at least one online course (Allen & Seaman, 2010)
This represents an increase of more than 100% from just four years ago. In addition to this rapid growth, research is beginning to emerge
indicating that online education has transcended the “no significant difference” phenomena. For more than a decade the accepted wisdom
has been that online education and its predecessor, “distance learning” resulted in no significant difference relative to learning outcomes
achieved through classroom ins.

Authentic learning, emerging technologies and graduate attributes: Experience...husITa
Internationally, there has been increasing concern by educators regarding developing graduate attributes such as critical scholarship, citizenship and lifelong learning to prepare students as agents of social good dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of the twenty-first century (Barnett, 2004). Conventionally, universities have used constructive alignment (Biggs, 2012) as a means of embedding graduate attributes such as the development of critical and reflective skills into the curriculum. However, the possibility of applying the nine principles of authentic learning (Herrington, Reeves, & Oliver, 2010) within the social work curriculum to facilitate the development of graduate attributes, has not been fully explored in the higher education or social work (SW) education literature. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by examining how the use of authentic learning principles by social work educators could lead to desired graduate attributes for students. In investigating the potential that authentic learning may have for developing graduate attributes SW education, this paper draws on in-depth interviews about authentic learning which were conducted with five South African SW educators from three differently placed higher education institutions. These interviews were part of a larger national study, which investigated the role that emerging technologies (ET) >Veletsianos, 2011) can play in improving teaching and learning in higher education. The transcripts of the interviews were analysed by the authors to establish whether or not authentic learning principles identified by Herrington et al. (2010) and ETs have the potential to develop desired graduate attributes in students. The findings revealed not all nine elements of authentic learning and ET existed in the case studies.
Do academics at your institution cringe when they hear "project management", "timelines" or "deadlines"? As a project manager, do you struggle with balancing your project management principles and practices with the university’s academic course development and design philosophies? These are typical challenges and you are not alone! Through the blending of collective efforts, both business and academic goals can be respected, realized and transformed into a new, agile, scalable model by leveraging Web 2.0 project management and collaboration tools to support a collaborative course development process package that even the most reluctant and skeptical academic and project manager can work with.

Using the Community of Inquiry Framework to Assess the Impact of Instructional Design Strategies and New Technologies in Online Courses
This presentation will examine how the efficacy of instructional design components and new online learning technologies can be assessed with indicators of the Community of Inquiry Framework (CoI). The CoI framework has attracted considerable interest and has been used extensively to study and design online educational environments (Garrison & Arbough, 2007). The CoI explains the online learning experience as a function of three overlapping presences – social, cognitive, and teaching. The construct was validated through factor analysis by a multi-institutional team of researchers in 2007 (Swan, Richardson, Ice, Garrison, Cleaveland-Innes & Arbough, 2008), however, many questions remain as to what factors influence the effective projection of each presence. As the model is based on constructivist learning theory, the impact of well designed instruction and pedagogically based application of new technologies should impact the level and quality of interactions probed by the CoI indicators. This session will examine how quantitative and qualitative analysis of course outcomes, using the CoI survey instrument and associated rubrics can be applied to continuous quality improvement from an instructional design perspective. Participants will be provided with instruments, analysis techniques and ideas or application in their own practice.
