Lisa,
This is perfect. May your defense go swimmingly. I’d love to hear what you found.
Our program is fully online. 2 courses have a clinical component where students do hours at a specific site with a project or deepening other nursing skill sets. We made adjustments to social presence a couple years ago. Teaching presence has a variety of opinions about what it is, when to use it, how much to use it. Fortunately the literature is starting to report more about the details of teaching presence, so it’s a process of helping us all move toward newer findings.
I’d love to see your instrument.

Hi Jen,
The student survey is I mention is the CoI survey.
I’d love to see what you’re thinking is about teaching presence. It’s one that our faculty has a wide divergence of opinion and engagement.
I’m thinking Lisa’s dissertation could be a big help.

Hi Jen,
We redesigned a nursing capstone course, in a fully online baccalaureate completion program at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, using the CoI framework. It’s been about 2 1/2 years and faculty are having significant variations in teaching presence. I’d be every interested in your outcomes.
I’m also interested in the survey you’re using for instructors. Faculty are trying to get our arms around “how to be” across the various presences.
Feel free to email me at garnern@ohsu.edu
Thanks
Annette
