Abstract
Gorsky, Caspi and their colleagues (2010) calculated a tentative bi-modal
population parameter for the distribution of "teaching presence", "cognitive
presence" and "social presence" in asynchronous course forums based on
disciplinary differences, group size and academic level. Findings from this
study, carried out at a campus-based college, did not support the parameter.
However, a ratio was found between social presence versus the sum of
cognitive and teaching presence that was constant across disciplines and
institution type.
