My theoretical frame model is the Community of Inquiry model. This model basically suggests that in order for a medium of education to be considered a proper form of education, it must have three important components: Social presence, cognitive presence, teaching presence. My work cited list includes resources that define what each of these three components means and how they relate to a proper educational experience. I will be researching how they correlate to certain aspects of students' educations. I will also be relating these ideas to my case study.
