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.

As we seek to reinvent study abroad for the 21st century, a more meaningful use of digital learning, including online courses, is a logical approach. From predeparture to re-entry, online instruction has great potential to deeply inform and even transform the study abroad experience on multiple levels. This session provides a framework for creating online discussion-board activities to encourage learning communities and critical thinking. Optimal instructor engagement also will be addressed. Data from our own courses and a bibliography will be included. Attendees will investigate the implications for their own programs through a guided discussion.

Reflecting on Learning Support Roles to Enhance Instructional EffectivenessDenise Nacu
What roles do we play as educators, and how can technology enhance our ability to play them? Drawing from research, we will share a framework that describes ways that educators support learning online and face-to-face. Reflecting on these roles--and understanding how technology can enable or enhance them—provides an approach for effective instructional design.

I gave a one hour overview to librarians from NH about assessment. My approach to assessment focuses on collection of performance assessments, mapping session level outcomes to program outcomes, aggregating data by outcome, SHARING what you learn, and contributing to program level assessment. I plan for and organize assessment methods into “tiers” with tier one assessments capturing student development of information literacy from a variety of academic experiences, and tier two assessment methods capturing librarians contribution to students development of information literacy. One librarian asked me after the discussion: where should I begin, especially with limited access to students? My recommendation is always to start with what’s already being done. Where are students already being assessed? Look there and see what you can learn about the challenges students are having. Then create your plan, and “start small, but start” as Deb Gilchrist and other ACRL Immersion faculty always mantra.

High vs. Low Collaboration Courses: Impact on Learning Presence, Community...David Wicks
Researchers demonstrated a relationship between learning presence and social engagement; however, research in this area is limited. For example, no distinctions are made as to what role faculty, students, or technology might play in facilitating social engagement. In general, researchers revealed that students' ability to self-regulate leads to more focused attention, time on-task, and in turn, these skills could lead to better learning. Given the need for more theoretical work in the area, as well as the potential practical benefits from the use of these pedagogical strategies, we sought to compare the difference between high versus low-collaboration groups on assignments, as well as courses in general. Differences in groups were measured using student grades, peer evaluation, pre and post test, and the community of inquiry framework. In addition, learning presence and social network analysis were used to assess a high-collaboration assignment.
In the current study, the researchers explored how collaborative technologies, specifically Google Docs and Google Hangouts, may be used to impact the level of learning presence (forethought and planning, performance, and reflection) students demonstrate while participating in a small group project. Participants were graduate education students in two randomly assigned sections of the same online course. The course content focused on basic educational psychology for students seeking initial teaching certification. The experimental section utilized a high-collaboration project (e.g., small group, Google Hangouts and Docs) to enhance understanding of course content while the comparison, control section employed a low-collaboration project (e.g., partner activity, Word documents) to enhance understanding of course content. Participants completed the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Survey at the end of the term which measured their perceived level of teaching, social, and cognitive presence during the course. Quantitative content analysis was used to explore occurrences of learning presence in the high-collaboration group. *Finally, we employed social network analysis (SNA) as a method of inquiry to analyze student interaction data with the high-collaboration group. SNA is used to explain relationships depicted by information flow and its influence from participants' interactions. Scholars have used SNA in the online learning context to understand individual and group dimensions of interactions.
*Social Network Analysis (SNA) will not be addressed in this presentation but will be included in the manuscript.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

16. Flavor’s of the Day
Cloud computing and virtualized applications
have tremendous promise
However – the rise to prominence is so rapid
that adequate evaluation is difficult
Longevity OR extensibility need to be
considered prior to adoption to maximize ROI
17. New Applications are Good
New applications that impact learning are
better
Higher Education often lags out of an
abundance of caution
Academics want to see learning outcomes
before they are willing to adopt
Give your faculty what they want
20. Sometimes a Little is Enough
The potential for overkill exists
Just because extremely rich apps exist
doesn’t mean they are always needed
Remember that distance learners are isolated
from the instructor and classmates physically
This may be by choice
But they still want some contact
21. Audio Feedback
Pilot Study revealed the following benefits of
providing asynchronous audio feedback using
Acrobat Pro:
THEME 1 – Ability to understand nuance.
THEME 2 – Feelings of increased involvement.
THEME 3 – Increased content retention.
THEME 4 – Instructor caring.
22. Audio Feedback & the CoI
The following slides compare the findings of
the multi-institutional CoI sample (n = 1085)
that received text-based feedback and
responses from a multi-institutional sample(n
= 1138) that received audio feedback
In the items addressed there was a
significant difference (p > .05) in responses

28. SaaS Word Processors
Two online, graduate level education courses
(combined n=78) students were asked to
complete assignments (mean page count =
9.75 pages), alternating Word and Buzzword
as the creation and submission mechanism.
Buzzword is an online document editor that is
a part of Acrobat.com
29. Document Analysis
average use of non-text based resources (e.g.
hyperlinks, graphics, tables, etc.) was 5.1 for
Word submissions and 14.3 for Buzzword
based submissions.
Cognitive Presence Indicators
Exploration Integration Resolution
Word 10.8 3.3 2.3
Buzzword 11.2 6.2 5.1
30. Interview Data
Buzzword’s ease of use (as compared to
Word) cited as primary reason for inclusion of
more links, graphics, etc.
Majority (n = 12) indicated that it was easier
for them to express complex concepts using
multimedia.
31. Interview Data
The concept of a Buzzword being a personal
reflective space was common among 72% of students
over 34 years old.
As an example these students frequently developed a
document on their own and then shared it with
classmates.
82% of students 34 and younger recognized it as a
collaborative tool and began workflow projects by
sharing a common document.
Qualitative analysis revealed that these younger
students frequently (68%) likened Buzzword to a Wiki
or similar collaborative tool. In contrast, only 27% of
older students made this association.
33. Understanding Why
The CoI survey and rubrics based off of it can tell you
what is happening but not why
Other measures are needed
Grading Rubrics and Student Interviews make great
sources of data
Involve your faculty – this is data they may already
have

39. Socio-Epistemological Orientations
Social – Group vs. Individual
Epistemological
Objectivist – lower order thought processes
vis-à-vis Bloom’s Taxonomy
Constructivist – higher order thought
processes vis-à-vis Bloom’s Taxonomy
Student satisfaction and perceptions of
Community may be impacted by the instructors
Socio-Epistemological orientation – as projected in
content and interactivity
(Arbaugh & Benbunnan-Fich, 2006)
40. Setting and Coding
American Public University System – fully online
institution
Eight undergraduate and eight graduate level
courses were coded for epistemological
orientations
Lower three levels of Bloom’s coded as
objectivist
Higher three levels of Bloom’s coded as
constructivist
Coding of all course activities and discussions
Majority of indicators determined
classification
41. Sample and Data Collection
CoI Survey administered for six course terms in
all sections of courses that were coded
N = 4397
Undergraduate – 2576
Graduate – 1821
Factor Analysis ran:
Overall
By level
By course
By five year age bands
By clusters – defined by school
42. Research Question
Does epistemological orientation influence factor
loading patterns?
Are other variables responsible for factor loading
patterns?
Impetus – despite validation of the CoI in 2008, a
few subsequent factor analyses have produced a
two factor solution
Anecdotal evidence – two factor solution
appeared among groups where the emphasis
was on training as opposed to true knowledge
acquistion
43. Findings I
Factor analysis of all courses combined produced
a three factor solution
Factor analysis of all undergraduate courses
combined produced a three factor solution
Factor analysis of all graduate courses combined
produced a three factor solution
Factor analysis of individual courses (n range of
221 - 405) produced a three factor solution
Factor analysis by school produced three factor
solutions
44. Findings II
Age banding 18 - 22, 23 - 27, 28 - 32, 33 - 37,
38 - 42, 43 - 47, 48 - 52, 53 - 57, 58 – 62
Undergraduate maximum age band = 43 – 47
Graduate minimum age band = 23 – 27
45. Findings III
Factor analysis by age band
18 - 22 produce a 2 factor solution regardless
of epistemological orientation or course level
23 - 37 produce 3 factor solution regardless of
epistemological orientation or course level
38 - 62 overall produce a 3 factor solution
overall
38 - 47 produce a 2 factor solution when the
epistemological orientation is objectivist
38 - 47 produce a 3 factor solution when the
epistemological orientation is constructivist
48 - 62 produce a 2 factor solution regardless
of epistemological orientation or course level
46. Observations
Students between 23 - 37 appear to find ways to
collaborate or view learning as a collaborative
process regardless of level
Students 18 - 22 appear to view teaching and
cognitive presence as the same construct
regardless of course orientation
Students 48 - 62 appear to view teaching and
cognitive presence as the same construct
Students 38 - 47 appear to be influenced by the
epistemological orientation of course materials
and activities
47. Future Research I
How does the perception of learning activities
differ between students 23 – 27 years old and their
peers
Why do students 18 - 22 not transfer native
social networking and collaboration skills to
learning
How can life skills be used to leverage learning
for students 48 - 62 years old
Why is epistemological orientation significant for
students 38 - 47 and not other age groupings
