Pathways to Social Presence in Online Learning Communities

Le He

Abstract


Online learning communities provide a wider learning space for learners to communicate, interact, collaborate and
cognitively engage without the constraints of time and space. Social presence, as the link between the online learning community
and the learner, is key to understanding online learning behaviour. Social presence is one of the learning outcomes sought by online
teaching and learning, and it plays an important role in the formation and development of online learning communities and has an
impact on individual perceptual learning and learning satisfaction, among other things. Therefore, in online learning, it is important
to focus on enhancing social presence.
