GEN: Week 1 of the Community of Inquiry Seminar Series beginstomorrow!

[Sylvia Currie <currie@idmail.com>]

What do we really know about facilitating critical thinking and higher-order
learning? 

Why is that we never seem to get to the latter stages of practical inquiry
in an educational experience (i.e., good at exploration but not at
resolution and application)?

Discuss these and other important questions during Week 1 of our 4-week
seminar series: Learning and Teaching in a Computer Conference Environment
-- Results of an Investigation of Cognitive, Social, and Teaching Presence
Online.  

Week 1 (September 24 - 30)
Moderator: Randy Garrison, Director of the Learning Commons, University of
Calgary 
"Critical thinking in a text-based environment: Computer conferencing in
higher education, critical thinking and cognitive presence"
