Student and teacher perceptions of community of inquiry in hybrid virtual classrooms.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 period forced (higher) educational institutions to come up with new ways to offer courses. This study focuses on hybrid virtual classrooms, which are learning environments that provide learning activities, guided by a teacher, to both online and onsite students simultaneously. Part-time students evaluated, based on their experiences, how hybrid virtual classrooms stimulated their feeling of being part of a community of inquiry [CoI]. They related this to the three aspects of CoI: social, teaching, and cognitive presence. Additionally, teachers' perceptions on how they enhanced the three aspects were collected. A mixed-method approach was applied in which a validated self-report questionnaire to measure the experienced CoI feeling of students was used. Qualitative
