ABSTRACT
This article is based on a constructively critical analysis of the model of community of inquiry developed by Garrison and Anderson (2003) as part of a research conducted in the area of e-learning. The authors claim that certain collaborative interactions create "distant presence" fostering the emergence of a community of inquiry which has a positive influence on individual and collective learning. More specifically, the article points out that until now, the model's theoretical foundations had not been made explicit and provides important insights concerning these epistemological considerations. It also suggests a number of theoretical perspectives which strengthen the authors' presentation of the conceptual anchorings of the model. Thus the major contribution of this article is to show the potential of Garrison and Anderson's model for the research in the field of e-learning.

ABSTRACT
Cet article s’appuie sur une analyse critique et constructive du modèle de community of inquiry développé par Garrison et Anderson (2003) dans leurs travaux sur le e-learning. Les deux auteurs précisent que certaines interactions collaboratives permettent de créer une présence à distance qui, à son tour, favorise l’émergence et le développement d’une community of inquiry ; ce type de communauté ayant alors une influence positive sur les apprentissages individuels et collectifs. L’article met plus particulièrement en exergue la faible explicitation des soubassements théoriques de leur modèle. Il apporte ici des éléments importants sur ses fondements épistémologiques. Il propose également quelques perspectives pour conforter la présentation des assises conceptuelles du modèle. L’article contribue ainsi à montrer son potentiel pour la recherche sur le e-learning.
