Why do online students fail? • Low self-regulation and meta-cognitive abilities(Cavanaugh, 2007; Moore, 1993, 2007; Rice, 2006; Hartley & Bendixen, 2001) • Lack of student motivation (Murphy & Rodriguez-Manzanares, 2009) • Sense of isolation and lack of community (Song et al., 2004; Vonderwell, 2003) • Absence of personal interaction (Dziuban, Hartman, & Moskal, 2004) • Unclear instructions (Hara & Kling, 1999; Song, Singleton, Hill, & Koh, 2004)
Why do online students fail? A lack of individualized support
NCAA claimed that self-paced online courses with low levels of human interaction are not “academically sound” (Brown, 2010, para. 5).

Benefits of a Theoretical Framework • Little research has examined adolescent student engagement in online learning environments • Rice (2006) stated that the lack of research is due in part to the absence of a “theoretical rational.”
Benefits of a Theoretical Framework • Mishra and Koehler (2006) explained that a framework can guide researchers’ focus to what is important and to ignore the insignificant. • Frameworks benefit the community by “focusing perspective, revealing knowledge and suggesting alternatives” (Garrison, 2000, p.3).

Teacher Practice • F2F teacher practice significantly impacts student success (Rivkin, Hanushek, & Kain, 2005; Slater, Davies, & Burgess, 2011). • Murphy and Rodriguez-Manzanares (2009) explained that Garrison et al.’s (2000) Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework may provide insights.
