Description More recently, attention has been given idea of Community of Inquiry. It is widely recognized that Community of Inquiry framework has become a prominent model of teaching and learning in online and blended learning environments. Despite the fact that much has been written about Community of Inquiry framework, it plays a critical role in serving as a framework for teaching and learning in ODL’s online learning; and informs methodologies and approaches to course design and delivery. Drawing from the Community of Inquiry framework, this article reflects on the three structures, namely, social, cognitive and teaching presence with reference to ODL at the University of South Africa.
