SUMMARY
This article analyzes the development of a «Community of Inquiry» to enhance high level social learning by integrating social networks into a MOOC with 497 participants from different parts of Spain and Latin America. Interactions that take place in the Facebook group created for the MOOC are examined from the perspective of the communities of inquiry. These interactions are discussed in relation to the social presence of students, cognitive activation and teaching presence. The different cognitive activation cycles are studied in order to explain how social networked learning works. The results indicate that the resources used for the cognitive activation of students have been successful in empowering high-level networkied learning. However, the need to delve into new strategies for designing such courses so they enhance the different types of social, cognitive and teaching presence that determine the quality of high level social networked learning is also indicated.
