Teaching Presence in
MOOCs
Perspectives and Learning Design Strategies
Suzan Koseoglu
Apostolos Koutropoulos
Why?
[Pedagogy] has been
noticeably under-
represented” in the MOOC
discourse (Bayne & Ross,
2014, p. 4).
Teachers’ roles in MOOCs
are “both significant and
neglected” (2014, p. 18).
What is teaching presence?
It’s a shifting and evolving concept that is tied to
the organization of learning and the learning
ecology itself (Rodgers & Raider-Roth, 2006).
Teaching presence is more than synchronicity, direct communication,
or visibility through multimedia; rather, it is about creating and
maintaining a meaningful and receptive relationship with learners.
...or among “esteemed co-learners” (Rheingold, 2014).
awareness...
empathy...
“...to be in connection with
another human being a
person needs to see and be
seen by the other.”
(Rodgers & Raider Roth,
2006, p. 274)
which leads us to…
hybrid presence
One that is not firmly set in either teacher presence, or learner presence,
but rather somewhere in between.
Hybrid Presence briefly defined: https://youtu.be/BCoGkmDAo8U
Teachers can have complex and multidimensional roles in networked
learning including “aggregating, curating, amplifying, modelling ... coaching
or mentoring” (Kop, Fournier, & Mak , 2011).
Some roles that cross boundaries: https://youtu.be/BTHXKbLmXjQ
Also through aggregating, remixing, repurposing, and feeding forward
(Siemens and Downes, 2011), learners can, in fact, shape the course as
much as, and perhaps more than, the instructor.

You cannot possibly know every individual or see every blog post,
comment, or tweet. This often means that you will miss some things, and
in missing them, miss entire consequences built upon them. So there will
also always have to be a humility of knowing we do not know.
(Bali, 2015)
