Evaluate Presence in Online Language Learning
Description
One of the central components of the Community of Inquiry framework is the relationship among different types of presence in an online community – teacher presence, social presence, and cognitive presence. Learning how to create and encourage these relationships are key activities for facilitators hoping to build community in an online space. Building community is an important part of online learning because it helps to combat feelings of isolation that a learner can experience while learning in an online environment.
This resource is a list of statements to help you reflect on presence in the online environment for language learning.
