From a voluntary survey of 699 undergraduate and graduate online students at a mid-sized, regional university Baker (2010). Recorded that instructor presence had a statistically significant positive impact on effective learning cognition and,,, Motivation. Here instructor presence, was described as being actively engaged in an, online discussion providing quick and. Personal feedback, to assignmentsOr being available frequently throughout the course (P. 6).
Interaction among students.
Moore (1989) was also concerned. With the transactional distance between the students themselves. Moore posited that inter-learner interaction could become. An "extremely valuable resource for learning" (P. 2, Although important).Moore observed that inter-learner interaction was most impactful among younger learners. It was not as important for most. Adult and advanced learners who are more self-motivated. That may be one reason as to why Baker (2010) found that instructor. Presence had a greater influence on reducing frustration and increasing social presence than peer presence (P. 23).
Interaction. With the system.
.Bouhnik and Marcus (2006) added to Moore 's (1989) original three interactions by including the interaction students have. With the system itself. They posited, "there is a need to make sure that the technology itself will remain transparent and. Will not create a psychological or functional barrier "(P. 303). If interaction with the system produced conflicts that. Were not, resolved quicklyA student 's level of satisfaction and ability to accomplish learning outcomes could be negatively impacted, Specifically,. When designing a technological system Bouhnik and, Marcus stressed the need for "building a support system with maximum,, Accessibility "(P. 303).
Importance of Sense of Community
.Building such a support system as Bohnik and Marcus discussed can enable these four varying kinds of learner interactions. To occur more easily. This in turn, can increase, a student 's sense of community (SOC). Sarason (1974), when coining the. Term defined SOC, as "the perception of similarity, to others an acknowledged interdependence, with othersA willingness to maintain this interdependence by giving to or doing for others what one expects, from them and the feeling. That one is part of a larger dependable and stable structure "(P. 157). Though Sarason coined the term SOC it has, been. The subject of, much research either directly or indirectly over the, last century (,, Glynn 1981 P. 791). Due to its broad. Nature.
