reljic on the impact of instructor immediacy behaviors in online learning environments: research...
DESCRIPTION
This session will report on the major findings of three large-scale studies examining the impact of instructor immediacy behaviors in recorded online videoconferencing sessions, the Wimba online classroom, and Second Life. The presenters will describe the communicative behaviors that enhance instructor immediacy and closeness with the students and offer practical recommendations for application in different online learning environments.TRANSCRIPT

Implementation Suggestions
• THE VIRTUAL WORLD• Choose the VW according to your needs• Introductory session to VW• Set the right expectations
• YOU• Identify your own immediacy style• Emphasize voice qualities• Personalize your avatar (physical and automated
gestures ≥ lipsync + speech gesture)
• YOUR STUDENTS• M[u]VE them (Move, Use, Verbalize, Engage)
