The goal of this project is to enable the use of a Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework for continuous monitoring of student discourse. Using text mining and text classification techniques, we aim at developing an automated content analysis system which would label each student discussion message in accordance with CoI coding scheme. The focus of the project is on the cognitive presence, as it is the central construct of the framework and, typically, the one of the most importance.
