I am acutely aware that as the facilitator of this course, I have not been enacting the COI framework. It is the first time this course has been offered and the first time I have facilitated it. I do teach similar courses in other contexts.
It is always my intention to ensure social, teaching, and cognitive presence whenever I teach. Because this is a pre designed course, I do not have much agency to make changes. Teaching presence has been established by the course designer. Cognitive presence has mostly been in the form of giving instructions and making adjustments. I have done little to lend my knowledge around facilitating online learning. I am cognizant of this. Social presence has also been weak on my part. With three sites, I have been challenged to create a reciprocal communication system. I apologize for this also.
I would appreciate any feedback you have for me, please send me an email or a Moodle message to share your insights. I appreciate your patience’s and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards, be safe,
Georgann
