Where have I been?
Wow..this stuff is from 2000 and it is just now sinking into my head. I guess I was just too steeped in my Info Science work to be paying attention to education and learning theories.
But, I have been reading a good deal of Anderson, Garrison and Archer and their model for creating communities of inquiry in computer medicated communication environments. I like the discussion on the worthwhile educational experiences. And, the very basic figure does lend it self to summarizing it into what I have scribbled and hanging on my wall…titled: What It is all about.
Then, I find that my host here at edublogs.org also has written a great deal about it as well:
Communities of Inquiry at incorporated subversion
Hmm..I’m feeling behind but I feel like I have pulled into very good company. Back to reading.
