Editor's Notes
- #3: Tiny person up front
- #4: Close up, in a circle Engaged
- #5: Don’t see instructor here…all students seem engaged
- #6: Hmmm. Is the instructor here? Not quite clear
- #7: You know someone has been here, right? What happens as the tides come in and out?
- #9: This did not happen on it’s own. It’s not magic.
- #10: Based on Community of Inquiry Model by Randy Garrison, Terry Anderson and Walter Archer, 2001Social presence is “the ability of participants to identify with the community (e.g., course of study), communicate purposefully in a trusting environment, and develop inter-personal relationships by way of projecting their individual personalities.” (Garrison, 2009) Teaching Presence is the design, facilitation, and direction of cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing personally meaningful and educationally worthwhile learning outcomes (Anderson, Rourke, Garrison, & Archer, 2001). Cognitive Presence is the extent to which learners are able to construct and confirm meaning through sustained reflection and discourse (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2001).
- #11: What resources are available to you?
- #12: Use announcements to keep them informed…not too many, not too few. Syllabus as guide or map, make sure expectations are clear and content is consistent with course. Let them know how to best reach you.
- #14: Not one-on-one Participate…not always often and early
- #15: Synchronous, ways to connect
- #16: Can be repeated for clarity
- #20: Google+ Community, discussions, communications, resources posted
- #21: This happens…even as you sleep.
