Therefore, a “good” social presence environment is the one where learners express their emotions and feelings and interact with one another in a way that promotes their learning.” (Garcia-O’Neill, 2016)

In order to promote social presence online, one must:

1.       Feel comfortable in sharing feelings, ideas, or experiences with students and peers that will help to promote learning and engagement.
2.      Provide feedback either instantaneously in communication, discussion, or by video.  Students thrive and learn from their mistakes through positive and instantaneous feedback.
3.      Have digital portfolios be an option to put all work videos, and images all in one place.
4.      Model positivity and respect for all through communication logs and discussions.  Both educators and students should be open-minded when reading what peers have to say.  
5.      Be aware of the individualized needs of each student and the type of accommodations needed for them to academically strive online.
6.      Use a variety of online tools and resources to balance out the means of using these different tools.  Like this, students have a great understanding and knowledge of various resource tools.

~The first key is to see what the students already know about the topic of discussion.

~Ask students what their goals or expectations are for the class.

~Keep in mind the student goals and plan some lessons that correlate with the student goals.

~Inquire about what the students like as ideas that will drive them to be actively engaged and motivated to learn.

~Challenge their minds to think.

~Share ideas and real-life experiences.  Connecting with students will show them how much you care as an educator.  This will inspire them to learn.

Developing effective collaborative online activities begins with understanding the research and how learners process information when online. Educators of online learning environments must focus on instructional and pedagogical best practices in order to deliver effective online instruction.” (Higley, 2018)

~shared independent work with constructive and critical thinking

~real-world experiences and social interactions

~a community of learners all striving to cooperate in achieving their common goal

When learners collaborate online with one another, they each have a common goal.  This goal motivates them to encourage each person to work to their fullest potential.  The opportunity that students receive a wealth of information from each other with the guidance of an online instructor is grand in making high quality connections and succeeding in their outcome goals.
