    Depreciating the online experience: Relative evaluation of social presence in online, hybrid, and offline course environments
    (21. Fachtagung Bildungstechnologien (DELFI), 2023) Matter, Philipp; Leikert-Boehm, Ninja; Heinrich, Peter
    COVID-19 accelerated the shift to online and hybrid instruction. While the literature shows that online courses can often perform as well as in-person classes, it is difficult to establish social presence, an important predictor of learning outcomes, at a distance. In this paper, we present exploratory observations of online, hybrid, and in-person environments of three courses at a Swiss university from 2021 to 2022. We were interested in our students’ perceptions of social presence in and between courses. The results show significant differences in course ratings and suggest carry-over effects between different course modalities, such that students who attend a course in person systematically rate online courses lower than students who attend only online. These effects disappear when courses are delivered exclusively in person.

    Now you (don’t) see me – Camera use in online course settings
    (21. Fachtagung Bildungstechnologien (DELFI), 2023) Leikert-Boehm, Ninja; Matter, Philipp; Heinrich, Peter
    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation towards online and hybrid teaching. While these modalities have been shown to have many beneficial aspects, they can also limit the social presence and collective engagement in learning activities. In this paper, we present exploratory observations on the role of video features in online and hybrid course settings during the pandemic. By analyzing survey data from three university courses in 2021/2022, we identify different explanations for students’ behavior in regulating their social presence by turning their cameras on (or rather off). We suggest that the benefits of cameras are highly contextual and may conflict with students’ specific goals and expectations, as well as their territorial habits, which should be taken into account when designing course content and didactic methods.
