Makale Özeti:
|
Learners enjoy the convenience of being able to take online courses, yet many reports
missing the face-to-face contact with their peers. This researcher has sought to tap into
the vision of Ferratt & Hall (2009) whereby educators and technology designers are
encouraged to extend the vision of online learning to “virtually being there and beyond.”
Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine innovative synchronous technology and
pedagogy as a means of promoting social presence in online learning. The inquiry was
quantitative in nature. Through adapting Garrison and colleagues’ community of inquiry
framework (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer 2000) it was noted that students perceived the
use of synchronous Centra technology to be beneficial in promoting a sense of social
presence in online learning.
Through one-on-one conversations within Centra, it was discovered that the use of this
technology also had a positive effect on student retention. There was a correlation
between learners’ perception that the instructor promoted an atmosphere of online
community and there being a sense of social presence. There was evidence of
satisfaction with instructor as evidenced by high student evaluation ratings. Instructor
ratings were above the department mean and the university mean.
