The Community of Inquiry (COI) model was developed by Garrison, Anderson and Archer (2000) and guides the design of an engaging online environment through three interdependent elements namely, social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence. In this 2-hour fully self-paced online course, participants are introduced to an eLearning model and will learn various strategies to create online presence to produce deep and meaningful learning experiences for their online learners.

Synchronous online learning occurs when learners “meet” all at the same time over using web based technology. Synchronous online learning can be used to reduce the feelings of lack of community and “distance” that students may experience in online courses

In this two hour self-paced module, you will explore the challenges and opportunities that Generative AI platforms present to educators. We will also discuss how educators are using such tools with their learners.

Feedback is an essential component of effective learning. Providing students with effective feedback allows them to bridge their learning gaps and use the information to enhance the quality of their work. In this module, we will learn the purpose, key components, strategies and tools to provide effective feedback to online learners.

The BSCS 5E Instructional Model has been widely disseminated and widely used as an effective instructional model that allows the students to construct their understanding across time. The 5E Model has five phases: engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation and is based on the constructivist theory to learning, which suggests that people construct knowledge and meaning from experiences. In this 1-hour self-paced module, learners will be introduced to the 5E Model and how the 5Es can be applied meaningfully to design lessons. Learners will also explore how technology can be incorporated into a lesson with this model.
