Research has demonstrated that social presence not only affects outcomes but also student, and possibly instructor, satisfaction with a course. Teacher immediacy behaviors the of others are especially important issues for those involved in delivering online education. This study explored role learning environments its relationship to students’ perceptions instructor. The participants this were students who completed Empire State College’s (ESC) courses spring 2000 end semester course survey...
This paper looks at factors affecting student satisfaction with and perceived learning from asynchronous online learning. It reports on an empirical investigation that explored relationships between perceptions course design in 73 SUNY Learning Network courses the Spring, 1999 semester. The study found three general – clarity of design, interaction instructors, active discussion among participants significantly influenced students' Such findings are related to various kinds interactivity a...
Abstract This article discusses course design factors affecting the success of asynchronous online learning, with a specific focus on social development learning communities through discussion. It reports an empirical investigation correlations between 22 and student perceptions satisfaction, interaction instructors classmates using data collected from 73 courses offered State University New York Learning Network (SLN) in spring 1999 semester. Data analyses revealed that three were...
“Social presence,” the degree to which participants in computer-mediated communication feel affectively connected one another, has been shown be an important factor student satisfaction and success online courses. This mixed methods study built on previous research explore greater depth nature of social presence how it develops course discussions. The combined quantitative analyses survey results from students enrolled four graduate courses, qualitative comparisons with highest lowest...
This article looks at factors affecting the success of asynchronous online learning both through a review research literature and an empirical investigation student perceptions course design in one largest networks country. It finds that three such factors—consistency design, contact with instructors, active discussion—have been consistently shown to significantly influence courses. is posited reason for these findings relates importance building knowledge communities environments.
The State University of New York (SUNY) Learning Network (SLN) is the online instructional program created for 64 colleges and nearly 400,000 students SUNY. foundation freedom from schedule location constraints our faculty students. primary goals SLN are to bring SUNY's diverse high-quality programs within reach learners everywhere, be best provider asynchronous instruction in beyond. We believe that these cannot achieved unless receives appropriate support.This paper will examine factors...
This paper builds on the model we have developed for creating quality online learning environments higher education. In that argue college-level needs to reflect what know about in general, understand higher-education contexts, and our emerging knowledge of largely asynchronous environments. Components include a focus learner roles, building, assessment, community, various forms “presence.” this two components—teaching presence community—and review rationale benefits an emphasis community We...
As the growth of online programs continues to rapidly accelerate, concern over retention is increasing. Models for understanding student persistence in face-to-face environment are well established, however, many variables these constructs not present or they manifest significantly different ways. With attrition rates higher than programs, development models explain considered imperative. This study moves that direction by exploring relationship between indicators Community Inquiry Framework...
The COVID-19 pandemic forced institutions of higher education around the world to quickly transition forms distance education, including synchronous and asynchronous online learning. Often lacking conceptual, empirical, practical understanding pedagogy, many have met this endeavor with mixed success. It seems inevitable that learning will continue play a key role in all sectors and, accordingly, pedagogy deserves more mainstream focus. To help build joint foundational knowledge between...
This preliminary study employed mixed methodologies to explore students' use of mobile computing devices and its effects on their motivation learn, engagement in learning activities, support for processes. Data collected from students four elementary two seventh grade science classes Northeast Ohio included usage logs, student work samples, teacher interviews, classroom observations. Findings highlight the personalization afforded by such both terms individuals individual cultures, as well...
Assessment can be seen as the engine that drives student course activity, online or off. It is particularly important in encouraging and shaping collaborative activity online. This paper discusses three sorts of activity—collaborative discussion, small group collaboration, exams. In each these areas, it provides both theoretical grounding practical advice for assessing, so encouraging, collaboration courses.

Dysregulated host responses to infection can lead organ dysfunction and sepsis, causing millions of global deaths each year. To alleviate this burden, improved prognostication biomarkers response are urgently needed. We investigated the use whole-blood transcriptomics for stratification patients with severe by integrating data from 3149 samples sepsis due community-acquired pneumonia or fecal peritonitis admitted intensive care healthy individuals into a gene expression reference map. used...
Sepsis, the dysregulated host response to infection causing life-threatening organ dysfunction, is a global health challenge requiring better understanding of pathophysiology and new therapeutic approaches. Here, we applied high-throughput tandem mass spectrometry delineate plasma proteome for sepsis comparator groups (noninfected critical illness, postoperative inflammation, healthy volunteers) involving 2612 samples (from 1611 patients) 4553 liquid chromatography–mass analyses acquired...
