DESCRIPTION
People have described the ideal role of the online Instructor as a “guide on the side” rather than a “sage on the stage” who should strive to establish a community of learners. While the underlying ideas behind these concepts are sound, they are often taken to extremes. In this session we argue for the importance of professorial authority. The professor is the content expert and students should be reminded of this sometimes explicitly and sometimes implicitly throughout a course.

What is social presence? How does it work in the classroom? How can it work in the online classroom?
Another problem: Social presence has come to mean being friends with your students.
But is that what they really want?
But do we need to hug our students?
Hypothesis: The university is best at getting students to engage and interact with peers and experts.
Other students are their peers, and that's a topic worth examaining.
But how do we get them to interact with experts?
What's the role of the University?
