Robert Squires (special guest and heavy lifting webcaster) joined John and Jen to review the latest news and resources in education and technology. Notably absent is a discussion of the iPad, but if you missed that story this week you probably aren't very interested in technology :)

Instructional-Design-Live #13: Social Presence in Online Courses

Robert Squires - Sat, 2010-04-10 22:21

Jennifer Maddrell leads off a three part series on the Community of Inquiry framework. The CoI framework addresses the need for the elements of social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence to be present in order for a learning experience to be successful. In the first show, key definitions of social presence are highlighted and we discuss the practical activities that enhance social presence in online courses. Sessions are also available for viewing in a web-conferencing format.

According to Garrison (2009), Social 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.”

Defining, creating and maintaining social presence in online courses is the focus of this week's show and is part of a three-part series that considers the Community of Inquiry framework.

 John and Jen "fly solo" (ok ... in truth ... Dave was there as the silent pilot) to review this week's news and resources in education and technology.

Instructional-Design-Live #10 Investigating Community and Interaction in Online Courses

Robert Squires - Sat, 2010-03-20 02:25

This week, Jennifer Maddrell discusses the focus for her dissertation work: the Community of Inquiry framework: http://communitiesofinquiry.com/. Her primary research question focusses on whether there is a relationship between learner's perceptions of "community" and actual learning outcomes as identified by grades, papers, tests, etc. The discussion took a very practical turn as we sought to identify particular strategies that may be used by instructors to develop community within online courses.
