Teaching presence
“Teaching presence is defined as the design, facilitation, and direction of cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing personally meaningful and educational worthwhile learning outcomes.”
Anderson, T., Rourke, L., Garrison, D. R., Archer, W. (2001). Assessing Teaching presence in a Computer Conference Environment. submitted for publication

As we have seen in previous lessons, social presence, cognitive presence and teaching presence together make a whole into the community of inquiry. In social presence was mention that interaction was important in order to acquire knowledge, then in cognitive presence the learner is the most important and the learning that students may acquire, finally teaching presence involves these two previous presence and most important the way how tutors will teach to students by online.
In teaching presence is important that tutor may starts the interaction, discussion among the participants of the community, later to give them assessment as a reinforcement of the knowledge that are acquiring.
“The creation of teaching presence is not always the sole task of the formal teacher. In many contexts, especially when teaching at senior university level, teaching presence is delegated to or assumed by students as they contribute their own skills and knowledge to the developing learning community.”
Anderson, Garrison, Archer & Rourke, N.d.)

I think that teaching presence is really important because it integrates important parts that we as future teachers we will use for doing a better environment among our students. Also I like the way how we are learning during this course of alternative learning processes, I consider that is a way how we are involved into these three types of presence. The success of the e-learning is collaboration between teacher-students with the use of technology.

  2. Hi Yaz!!

    Hope you enjoy your weekend!
    I think that you mentioned a very important point: that teaching presence integrates parts that we as future teachers we will use for doing a better environment among our students, I believe that this is the basis of this presence, but take into account that not all the responsability relies on the teacher, the student, I consider, has a very important role in this process.

    I also like your attitude trough the course, honestly I think that we have to be open-minded in trying new things in order to improve because if we want to change this is a great beginning!. This is related to the previous point because if the students feel confident the learning process would be easier for both: the teacher and the student.

    What d'ya think?

    CU soon ;D
