Lesson 1.2, Community and Inquiry (KCI): Theory and Practice in This Course
KCI Framework
The Knowledge Community and
Inquiry (KCI) framework is a theoretical model for designing learning
environments that integrate collaborative inquiry with the collective
development of knowledge within a community. It emphasizes the interplay
between individual learning and the collective advancement of shared
understanding. The framework is particularly useful in technology-enhanced
educational settings, such as those involving knowledge-building platforms,
collaborative tools, or interactive simulations.
