Abstract:

This study investigated how in one graduate genetics class, perceptions of online presence were related to student performance, assessment of their learning, attitudes about the course and the subject, and volubility. Data were gathered from student survey responses, instructor evaluation of performance, and statistics on messages posted.
Results from this study indicated significant correlations between student perceptions of the presence of other students in the class and scores on an attitudes scale and their satisfaction with their own learning. This finding highlights the salience of other students in the learning environment.
Perceptions of the instructor’s presence were significantly correlated with both attitudes, or affective learning, and with student learning satisfaction. This outcome in an online class is consistent with findings on teacher immediacy literature in traditional classes.
Student reports of their perception of their own presence in the class were significantly correlated with performance in the class, with the grade they would assign themselves, with their attitudes about the course, and with volubility, measured as number and length of class postings.
Volubility was related in this study to performance, although not to presence, in contrast to the argument that volubility might heighten perceptions of presence.
