Abstract
This study, An Investigation of the Predictors of Student Satisfaction In Online Courses Using the Community of Inquiry Framework, an online survey with 39 questions to gather data was used for this research study. Participants (N = 222) included African American undergraduate students enrolled in fully online courses. Data from the survey were examined. Findings of this study confirmed that teaching, social, and cognitive presence are significant predictors of student satisfaction with online courses. ANOVA and Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) showed statistical significance in relation to teaching presence. Additionally, ANOVA and Fisher LSD revealed a positive correlation existed between student satisfaction and social presence.
