Abstract
The transformative shift of courses to the online environment requires interaction and collaboration by both students and the instructor. For the instructor, interaction is needed to establish cognitive presence, social presence and teaching presence. This presentation will expose innovate and scalable best practices and effective strategies that will allow for the establishment of the instructor’s online persona (online personality). The presenters propose the course builder begin with three simple folders, piles or boxes, depending on your organizational skills with the aim of establishing your own unique online persona. Folder one will contain strategies for the creation of social presence within the online environment. Folder two will contain innovative ideas for establishing and maintaining cognitive presence online. Folder three will contain the magic or the 'glue' that will establish the teaching presence of the online instructor using time and the learning environment space effectively. This session will also focus on the best practices for building a superior online learning course using a variety of technology tools and strategies. Using the proposed best practices should lead to the establishment of an effective online persona which should ultimately contribute to enhanced cognitive presence, social presence and teaching presence within online courses.
