Studies conclude that social presence is a key factor impacting students’ views about the quality of the online learning experience (Cobb, 2009; Poth, 2018). In this blog post, I look at some of the thinking behind this.

By giving students an opportunity to truly connect with the teacher and their peers instead of just watching a video and taking a quiz (as many online courses do) we make online learning a more humanised experience where students feel welcomed and supported (Spellman-Cann et al., 2016). Social presence tends to reduce stress and removes the “sense of isolation and remoteness” which is often felt in an online learning environment (Steckbauer, 2005).

Most education technologists will argue that our work is not about the tools, but about what the tools will allow educators and learners to do.

 

However, very often it is the tool that becomes the obstacle. Yet another account to set up. Yet more functions to figure out. And there’s always more tools after that…It can be discouraging.

KF:  This is an interesting article that serves to demonstrate in quite graphic ways the tensions that arise when we approach post-human modalities as normal.  While the reasons for the attck remain unclear the incident is a worrying example of how technology-mediated engagement seems to worry many people.  It will be interesting tio see how these issues become manifest in the Higher Education sector as more augmented and alternate forms of engagement are employed.
