Please watch this short Youtube video. It is a visual depiction of the theory of “Community of Inquiry”. I like this theoretical framework because as one who regularly teaches graduate nursing students I am aware that all of us, students and faculty have something to offer within our learning interactions. As a faculty member, I think it is my role to support and maximize all possibilities for learning. The 3 key areas for consideration are cognitive, social, and teaching presence within the learning community. Again, by considering each key area it allows a framework for evaluation for me as a faculty member. Watch and enjoy!
