There is a difference in the way we create a sense of presence in the traditional face-to-face classroom compared to the virtual classroom. In this episode, Rosemary Lehman and Simone Conceição examine these differences and the distinguishing factors: space, time, boundaries, teaching, level of interaction, level of course planning, and cognitive and affective teaching effort.
Based on the book, Creating a Sense of Presence in Online Teaching: How to “Be There” for Distance Learners.
