ProQuest Document View - The effect of social presence in virtual high school

The overall purpose of this study was to see whether social presence in online learning is related to student satisfaction at the high school level and to investigate whether certain activities can be effective in increasing students' social presence and satisfaction and thus retention rates. The study was divided into two parts: the purpose of the first part of the research was to extend findings by Gunawardena and Zittle (1997) into the high school setting, and the second part compared several activities to investigate which of them were the most effective in enhancing social presence.


A survey examining social presence and satisfaction and discussion board coding were the instruments used for Part 1. Part 2 utilized data from the same social presence and satisfaction survey, along with an additional survey examining perceived social presence per activity, an instructor survey, course activity/contact log data, and student retention/drop-out data.


Three schools participated in the study, with a total of 40 instructors, 18 courses, and 277 students represented in Part 1; 727 discussion board postings by 105 students are analyzed in Part 2. Pearson's correlation, linear regression, and binary logistic regression were performed for data analysis. Schools were analyzed separately for the Part 2 analysis, as one school provided student-specific contact log data and the other two provided course-specific activity data.


The results show that certain activities, namely personalized introductions, sending of official documents, notes, and course announcements, are strong predictors of high social presence. Students who had high social presence in personalized introductions and real-time web conferencing activities also had high social presence in the course overall. None of the specific activities tested was distinguished as a predictor of satisfaction. However, perceived social presence in certain activities, namely the personalized introduction, orientation activity, and use of web 2.0 tools, was a predictor of satisfaction. High social presence on team projects predicted low satisfaction.


Sending frequent notes was shown to be a strong predictor of retention. Lastly, the results showed that high social presence in discussion board activities predicted a high retention rate.


This research is intended to inform the design of online high school courses. The results provide data on what activities impact social presence, satisfaction, and retention, and the discussion in the conclusion will provide some reflections on how to effectively implement courses with integrated social presence.

Creating Color-Blind Accessible Figures – ProfHacker - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education

Creating Color-Blind Accessible Figures – ProfHacker - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

There is tremendous variation in how individuals perceive and distinguish colors. These differences can be due to color vision deficiency or color blindness, as well as other medical conditions affecting the eyes or brain. Other factors such as device display settings, corrective lenses, and environmental lighting conditions can also affect the perception of color differences.


The most common congenital forms of color blindness are deuteranopia and protanopia, the inability to distinguish red and green. Tritanopia causes difficulty in distinguishing blue and yellow. However, these simplified descriptions barely begin to address the ways many different colors (and their lighter/darker variations) are perceived by those with color blindness.

Defining 'Evidence of Learning' @insidehighered

Defining 'Evidence of Learning' @insidehighered | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

An investment banking and consulting firm focused on education, Tyton Partners, is issuing a report today that attempts to create a framework for measuring "evidence of learning." The research, which the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded, seeks to take a holistic approach to defining the "body of knowledge, skills and experience" people achieve in both formal and informal activities throughout their lifetime. Tyton, which until this month was Education Growth Advisors, also released a second report on the "supplier ecosystem" that surrounds related markets, such as accreditation services, portfolio platforms and assessment services.

MOOCs Treat All Learners the Same

MOOCs Treat All Learners the Same | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

All learners are different. They come from different backgrounds and have different levels of prior knowledge. They have different learning styles and preferences, different needs and different questions. For education to be effective and engaging, it needs to be adaptable for the needs of individual learners. MOOCs treat all learners the same, and a one-size-fits-all approach works just as well for education as it does for clothing, which is not well at all.

This is probably my favorite objection to MOOCs, perhaps because it is the one (aside from low completion rates) that has gotten the most attention. The basis of this argument is that “massive” courses can never work because they don’t take into account the needs of individuals. In fact, I (and many others) believe that MOOCs are able to support individual learners even better than traditional instructional formats.

Take-Away From the Gates Report on Faculty | College Ready Writing @insidehighered | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

The Gates Foundation just released a really interesting report on Faculty Trends (PDF). The focus of the report, based on a robust amount of survey data and informed by a solid review of the literature, is professors’ adoption of technology in their teaching and what motivates them to adopt new approaches to their teaching. It’s a really informative report, especially from a faculty development perspective.

How To Find Openly Licensed Educational Resources You Can Use [Infographic] | OER | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Most of us turn to the internet when we are looking for resources to use for a presentation, report or article. The internet holds the key to so many robust resources.

Yet how many of these resources can you legally use for free? How many of them can you adapt?

That’s where Open Educational Resources (OER) can help. Here’s an infographic from the Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (at the University of Texas at Austin) that can help.

NMC Horizon Report > 2015 Higher Education Edition | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

The NMC Horizon Report > 2015 Higher Education Edition is a collaborative effort between the NMC and the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI). This 12th edition describes annual findings from the NMC Horizon Project, an ongoing research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in education. Six key trends, six significant challenges, and six important developments in educational technology are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning. The report aims to provide these leaders with more in-depth insight into how the trends and challenges are accelerating and impeding the adoption of educational technology, along with their implications for policy, leadership and practice. View the work that produced the report at www.horizon.wiki.nmc.org.
