Social Presence in Corporate and Higher Education
Asynchronous Learning Networks |
| Abstract |
| This pilot
study evaluates the emergence of Social Presence
in learning networks. The objectives are to
identify effective practices and to lay the
groundwork for future research. Through surveying
users in a large European bank and interviewing
instructors of a French business school best
practices are elicited and a research agenda
proposed. While Social Presence is found to
be conducive to enhanced learning outcomes
and instructor teaching satisfaction, it does
not itself overcome other learning barriers.
Social Presence is the degree to which e-learning
is supported from instructors through email,
telephone, or face to face interaction and
its consequences on interpersonal relationships
and learning outcomes. |
