Abstract: The proliferation of information communication technologies (ICT) continues to increase opportunities for effective pedagogical approaches and online learning. This paper reports a study on integration of online formative assessment from a teaching presence perspective of the community of inquiry (CoI) framework. The effects of this integrative pedagogical approach on students' learning experiences are explored. The study was conducted in a post graduate online course. Case study research design was utilized. The study exemplified the core elements of formative assessment including integration of authentic assessment activities within teaching and learning processes, explicit learning goals, formative feedback, and documentation of evidence of learning. These elements were aligned to the functions of teaching presence, namely design, facilitation, and direct instruction. This approach enhanced meaningful engagement with critical learning experiences including interactive collaboration, critical thinking, reflective thinking, multi-dimensional perspectives, and self-regulation.
