A quasi-experimental method was applied with three-groups design: two experimental and one control group.

The two experimental groups were trained on CoI Framework, the first group has (24) students, and the second experimental group has (25) students but they were randomly divided into three small learning teams, while the control group has (25) students.

The content of the three groups' posts on the learning management system were analyzed.
