3. The author looks into the concept of social presence. She defines what social presence is and explains its importance. She also relates it to other important aspects of learning to draw a solid conclusion about how to improve education

4. The author has a C.A.S. on educational research and program which makes her credible when researching a topic about education.

5. Social presence is a key term: it is defined as being connected with others (students and teachers) in a way that makes it comfortable for the student to learn. Student outcome is also a key term: it is defined as a learner's perceived measure of performance. Student outcome is a big part of Richardson's research because it helps related social presence to other parts of education (academics, motivation). 

6. 

"'Students perceiving more social presence also used significantly more social presence indicators to project their own presence to their classmates'"

"social presence was positively associated with students' perceived learning and their satisfaction with the online delivery medium implemented by courses"

"found that students' perceptions of social presence were not a statistically significant predictor for performance on the examination. However, it was a significant predictor for performance on the written assignment."

7. This article helps me understand and explain an important part of my theoretical frame in greater detail. Social presence is an important part of the COI model and this article relates social presence to other education factor (giving more credibility to my model).

  This image represents the differences in the viewpoint of online learning. Most students believe that online learning is just as efficient as traditional classroom learning when it comes to communication between them and their educators. Most educators also believe that online learning is just as good as traditional classroom learning. However, when it comes to whether students believe that they actually learn better in an online setting than a classroom setting, the number of students is low (26%). This further reinforces the point made in my paper (an online environment for learning is too comfortable for students which interferes with their ability to learn properly).

Research Question and 3 Sources

As the Corona Virus had begun to unfold across the world and had eventually reached America, colleges were forced to make a decision about keeping their colleges open or transitioning to online college. Keeping the campuses open could put both students and staff at risk of getting the virus. Transitioning to an online atmosphere could hinder the college staff’s ability to effectively communicate ideas to students while also hindering students’ ability to learn. Should colleges choose to keep their campuses open or closed during this pandemic? What consequences does each choice have on colleges, staff, and students (and family)? 1. Heo, J., Han, S.

  Abstract Online learning is arguably one of the best assets to come to education from the effects of COVID-19. The potential of online education goes hand-in-hand with the potential of technology and what it has to offer to students. Although colleges are using online education to improve their facets for teaching, they are still lacking in many aspects of a college education. Colleges are not able to replicate the in-person aspect of college education in an online setting; therefore, many students are left feeling less motivated about continuing college education. There is a decline in student retention rates, but colleges still choose to focus on expanding their pedagogy. One of the ways colleges can expand their improving student collaboration with other students and teachers.
