Abstract
Previous research has indicated that nonverbal teacher behaviors such as smiling, vocal expressiveness, movement about the classroom, and relaxed body position are salient low‐inference variables of a process which results in a product of increased cognitive and affective learning. This study identified a set of verbal teacher immediacy behaviors which similarly relate to increased student learning. Results indicated differentiated use of various types of verbal immediacy messages between small and larger classes, and that the impact of teacher immediacy behaviors (both verbal and nonverbal) on learning is coincidentally enhanced as class size increases. The study provides empirical definition of a specific set of low‐inference verbal variables which, in combination with previously identified nonverbal variables, clarify a single process‐product model for effective instructional interaction.

Social presence as a predictor of satisfaction within a computer‐mediated conferencing environment

TL;DR: This paper examined how effective social presence is as a predictor of overall learner satisfaction in a text-based medium and found that social presence alone contributed about 60% of this variance, suggesting that it may be a very strong predictor of satisfaction.

Assessing Social Presence In Asynchronous Text-based Computer Conferencing

TL;DR: Garrison, Anderson, and Archer as mentioned in this paper developed a community of inquiry model that synthesizes pedagogical principles with the inherent instructional and access benefits of computer conferencing, and defined social presence as the ability of learners to project themselves socially and affectively into a community.
