Despite extensive Community of Inquiry (CoI) research, dependence on the technological foundations of online learning via the Learning Management System (LMS) remains underresearched. As a blank canvas for course creation, the LMS is a collection of tools and communication devices through which content and activities are developed. Instructional designers follow a linear design pathway where there is little potential for deviation; however, the ease of course development typically outweighs some LMS limitations. Although online learning and the CoI have evolved, advancements in learning technologies offer LMS alternatives. This chapter examines emerging platform and analytic technologies, emphasizing their potential impact on the three CoI presences. Attention is given to technologies that may have positive or negative impacts on collaborative, constructivist interdisciplinary learning models. |
