To promote the teaching presence, the following tips are suggested: set clear expectations for learners and model expected behaviour be present frequently, for instance more than 3 times/week. Make sure that you are available, and students can reach out to you guide students during their self-regulated learning make announcements, send private messages/emails to make sure that students are on track and aware of any deadlines, responsibilities, changes in the programme suggest additional up-to-date resources/information while the course is running promptly reply to students’ inquiries and clarify misconceptions monitor and keep track of students’ presence through the analytics of the digital tools encourage students through comments/messages about their contributions c) Cognitive Presence is “the extent to which learners are able to construct and confirm meaning through sustained reflection and discourse” (Garrison et al., 2001, p. 93). To achieve this, we should focus on preparing and incorporating activities that build higher order thinking skills (e.g., critical evaluation, analysis, synthesis), so that students are actively engaged with the learning content. Additional emphasis is placed on the reflective practices, the feedback provided, and the discussion established. To develop the cognitive presence, the following tips are provided: ask learners to identify their learning goal(s) for the course. activate students’ prior knowledge to clarify misunderstandings and monitor what they know. This way new knowledge will be built upon the previous one. include examples to consolidate understanding. Examples allow students to relate the learning content with real life situations. provide thought-provoking feedback that promotes analysis and challenging of the ideas presented. debrief modules and summarise discussions to pinpoint the concepts taught and their link to the learning outcomes. develop learning activities that are relevant, challenging, collaborative, engaging, and require deep thinking.
