The Role of Presence in online environments

What can be done to avoid the feeling of isolation in online courses?

• Create the feeling of “Being There” • and “Being Together”.

• The feeling of “Being There” is related to telepresence and makes the learners have the impression or feeling that they are present at a location remote from their own environment.

• The feeling of “Being Together” is related to social presence and allows learners to feel that they are part of a community and can interact with the other members of this community.
