@book { title = {Principles of Blended Learning: Shared Metacognition and Communities of Inquiry}, author = {Vaughan, Norman D. and Dell, Deborah and Cleveland-Innes, Martha and Garrison, D. Randy}, abstract = {The rapid migration to remote instruction during the Covid-19 pandemic has expedited the need for more research, expertise, and practical guidelines for online and blended learning. A theoretical grounding of approaches and practices is imperative to support blended learning and sustain change across multiple levels in education organizations, from leadership to classroom. The Community of Inquiry is a valuable framework that regards higher education as both a collaborative and individually constructivist learning experience. The framework considers the interdependent elements of social, cognitive, and teaching presence to create a meaningful learning experience. In this volume, the authors further explore and refine the blended learning principles presented in their first book, Teaching in Blended Learning Environments: Creating and Sustaining Communities of Inquiry, with an added focus on designing, facilitating, and directing collaborative blended learning environments by emphasizing the concept of shared metacognition.}, year = {2023}, month = {/2023}, language = {English}, publisher = {AU Press}, pages = {186}, address = {Athabasca, Alberta}, country = {Canada}, doi = {10.15215/aupress/9781771993920.01}, isbn = {9781771993937}, keywords = {blended learning, community of inquiry, shared metacognition, design, facilitation, instruction, assessment, collaboration}, }
