My view of effective practice has not changed much as I’ve moved through this material. Having studied at Athabasca U. for both a Masters and now a doctorate degree I have been exposed to the COI framework on multiple occasions and have taken courses with some of the theorists attached to it. I feel that my approach to teaching (online, blended and/or in-person) is guided by various aspects and principles of the COI framework. However, I also have a few arguments with this theoretical standpoint.
Some of the basic principles such as open, honest communication to build trust seem to be principles that can work in many different scenarios.
