OTL101- Post 2: Cognitive Presence
Hi everyone,
Here are my thoughts to the questions for blog 2:
- What do you know now that you did not know prior to starting the course?
I did not know about the model of cognitive descriptors model (figure 3) in the article. I wonder how figure 2 and 3 overlap
- What gaps or discrepancies do you notice between your ideas in Post 1and what you have learned since then in Lesson 1?
Well there seems to be an understanding that social presence is tied together in cognitive presence as well. The overlap is interesting. I am not sure it answers my questions on community building activities.
- What questions would you like to explore on the topic of cognitive presence?
How do you ensure the “non-class time” is used by online students to engage with deeper deliberation and other people outside of the class to deepen their thinking on any given topic?
- Provide an example of how you have seen effective cognitive presence modeled in online learning.
Well students have been able to reflect on a guiding question that connects what they have read for class with the current realities of today and students are expected to respond to one another. Also, when individual presentations were completed in my course students who presented had to pose a discussion question to the class and everyone needed to respond and the presenter needed to engage with their peers discussion answers.
Thanks for your attention to the above thoughts,
Manu
