TL;DR
Preliminary results from the redesign of one course suggest that such approach can improve student learning outcomes, and support the efficacy of the QM and CoI theoretical frames, and the usefulness of design-based approaches in online learning.
Abstract
This paper reports on preliminary findings from ongoing design-based research being conducted in the fully online Master of Arts in Teacher Leadership (MTL) program at a small, Midwest public university. Researchers are using the Quality Matters (QM) and Community of Inquiry (CoI) frameworks to guide the iterative redesign of core courses in the program. Preliminary results from the redesign of one course suggest that such approach can improve student learning outcomes. Results also support the efficacy of the QM and CoI theoretical frames, and the usefulness of design-based approaches in online learning.

631 Citations2008Peter Shea, Temi Bidjerano
The study validates an instrument designed to measure teaching, social, and cognitive presence indicative of a community of learners within the community of inquiry (CoI) framework and determined that 70% of the variance in the online students' levels of cognitive presence can be modeled based on their reports of their instructors' skills in fostering teaching presence.

Examining the disciplinary differences in perceptions of social, teaching, and cognitive presence of over 1500 students in seven disciplines at two U.S. institutions suggests the possibility that the CoI framework may be more applicable to applied disciplines than pure disciplines.
