The authors explore the emotional, psychological, and social aspects from both the instructor and student perspective. It provides an instructional design framework and shows how a strong presence contributes to effective teaching and learning. Contains methods, case scenarios, and suggested activities.

Reconceptualization of the CoI framework that proposes learning presence as an additional construct in the framework. Reflects the unique contributions of students and teachers and embeds the social dimension as part of each presence (i.e., Social-Learning Presence, Social-Teaching Presence, and Socio-Cognitive Presence).

Kristy, thank you so much for locating and sharing this article and study. It's an important find. I really like the fact that it is hosted within our library system and that the authors are suggesting that the model may need some revisions - there is still much to learn and develop in the digital learning environments. Bookmarked!

This article delves deeper into the third part of the COI (cognitive presence, social presence, and teaching presence) and discusses how this area can be assessed for online learning.

I've been concerned with translating of a sense of teacher's personal presence into online course design; while this article is brief (and maybe over-dependent on a graphic), it nevertheless invites specific choices of format, teaching strategies, instructor roles, and type of technology, all to the end of suggesting an active and engaging professorial presence.

Researchers use the CoI framework to examine teacher presence and the use of introductory videos.

A quick read about the nature of presence within online learning and the usefulness of social media platforms therein.

There are some great suggestions and examples of how to use social media to increase the "social presence" element of the online classroom.

The centrality of teaching actively comes up a lot. All is not lost! Teaching presence is the key to social and cognitive presences.

This study affirms the need to attend to individual differences among learners. Whatever technologies we use or approaches we take, we need to keep in mind that there will be significant variation in how students use all these components of the course. Aim too low and we lose the top to boredom. Aim too low and we lose the bottom to confusion. I think this means we need to be reactive and be ready to alter plans and methods as needed. Leah demonstrated this when she made the group project optional.

Applying the Community of Inquiry Model (Teaching presence, social presence, cognitive presence) to on-line doctoral education. Socialization and mentoring needs identified as rationale for blended designs.

This chapter presents a theoretical model of online learning, the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, which is grounded in John Dewey's progressive understanding of education. The CoI framework is a process model of online learning which views the

This is a provocative article (even more enjoyable reading the blogs concerning it) regarding faculty online "public presence". I know I am struggling with privacy versus connection in trying to establish an online presence.

This study focuses on the presence of the teacher in the virtual classroom and how the instructor interacts with the students. Can an instructor's behavior encourage more student activity? Certainly, but it has to be more than the occasional "well done," the authors say. Students want more teacher presence, specifically more frequent responses, more acknowledgement of individuals' contribution, and more suggestions and guidance related to a specific response. So the bottom line is try to respond to individual students rather than a group and customize your comments as much as possible. You will have more engaged students.

This paper reports the findings of a case study in which audio feedback replaced text-based feedback in asynchronous courses. Previous research has demonstrated that participants in online courses can build effective learning communities through text based communication alone. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that instructors for online courses can adequately project immediacy behaviors using text-based communication.
