As far as planning for my presentation, I have come up with a very tentative outline. The outline below includes the questions I plan to answer in my presentation in the order they will be answered. I'll get my storyboard on here as soon as possible.
- What is social presence?
- summary of important research done on social presence
- most widely accepted definitions
- Why is social presence important to the creation of a successful online community?
- How can social presence be measured?
- How can social presence be developed?
- What are the effects of social presence?
- What are the future trends in terms of social presence?
Hi Monica,
ReplyDeleteInteresting topic and one that is so important in distance education. Palloff and Pratt (2005) stated that the degree of participation and the degree of interaction between the participants is the deciding factor as to whether social presence is also high. You can really tie that into our course readings about collaboration. Have fun with it. Sounds like it will be great.

Thanks! I was so excited to find information on my topic in our readings for this module. I don't know why I didn't think to look in our course readings first for information to get me started.
ReplyDeleteI really like the video and I concur with you on the idea of measuring social presence which is very challenging .
