This paper introduces a framework for collaborative microblogging that we believe is useful in enriching student interaction, both in-class and outside of contact hours. The framework is called Microblogging for Community of Inquiry (MiCoI). MiCoI is based on our experience using microblogging in an undergraduate Information Systems unit to facilitate a Community of Inquiry (CoI). In our experiment we demonstrated the existence of CoI with collaboration between an Australian and American tertiary institution using Twitter as the microblogging platform. The results were encouraging and were highlighted by the opportunity of cross-institutional interaction, reduced barrier to student engagement driven by social elements and additional channels to facilitate CoI. MiCoI is extended from this experiment and is designed to be applicable to any microblogging platform.
