Following the article: Critical thinking, cognitive presence and computer conferencing.
- As a person who enjoys narrative analysis, the article made me aware of how one can use the skill of coding (formally or informally) during/after online interactions to assess how the group, and individuals within the group, are progressing with concept development.
- The article assists/propels the facilitator in thinking more critically about what is occurring in online discourse.
- I appreciate the hermenuetic nature of the cognitive process (CoL) framework that has been presented. the facilitator realizes that a candidates progress on the developmental spiral may have some times of ‘pause or stoppage’ before having their learning flow onward/upward.
- The writer has limited online learning experience. Nonetheless, cognitive presence would be present in the reflection on, and adaptation of ideas that would be occurring in discourse and assignments.
- 5. Observe/read other posts.
