Abstract
Each year more reports indicate that online programs are in demand. These programs are sought after by the population to fit into their lives. As a result, concern for quality online courses is at the forefront of the higher education industry. This also increases the concerns for how to teach online classes and how to engage the students in the course materials. The theoretical construct of community of inquiry (CoI) determines that engagement or interaction. This study compares the similarities and differences of CoI experienced by faculty and students. The study uses each of the CoI types of presence: social, teaching, and cognitive. This study found that there were significant differences between the perceptions of students and faculty on the CoI types of presence and instructor presence.
