Can I use the three elements of the CoI as the theoretical framework to support the research on professional learning community and 21st-century teaching among teachers?

Can the three elements of the CoI framework be integrated and applied to support the professional learning community and 21st-century teaching among teachers? From my reading, CoI is more geared toward students' learning, although the teaching presence element focuses on the teacher.

Most definitely. In fact, we used the CoI framework for professional development when Dr. Norm Vaughan did his doctorate on the subject. The following will provide an introduction to this work.
Vaughan, N., & Garrison, D. R. (2005). Creating cognitive presence in a blended faculty development community. Internet and Higher Education, 8(1), 1-12.
Also check out the new edition of our book:

Also, please follow-up with Norm for more insight.

Hi Fatemah, and thank you for your question. We’ll be returning to this topic a bit later in the series, but let's briefly touch on it now.
