Tu, C. H., Yen, C. J. &, Blocher, M. (2011). A study of the relationships between gender and online social presence. International Journal of Online Pedagogy & Course Design, 1(3) 32-48.

Abstract

CMC has been considered a "democratizing" technology; however, research indicates that CMC does not automatically result in social equality, and points to the importance of social and cultural factors surrounding

the adoption of technology. Research suggests that CMC may impose a disadvantage to females, demonstrating lower levels of social presence. This study assesses the predictive relationship between gender and online

social presence. A total of 395 graduate students participated by responding to the Computer-Mediated Communication Questionnaire. Quantitative research designs and analyses were applied. This study concluded that online social presence is not related to gender; therefore, gender cannot serve as an effective predictor for online social presence. A female's online social presence can be as high as a male's. Effective strategies to improve online social presence for both genders are suggested. Additionally, this study raises the importance on gender equity in emerging social media.

Engage and Learn with Next Generation Learning Challenges this Summer This summer, you're invited to join your colleagues and Next Generation Learning Challenges for a "Summer Learning Series" – a schedule of webinars dedicated to the transformative role that technology can play in fostering student success with solutions designed to improve college completion. The series will kick off on June 28 with Louis Soares, director of the Postsecondary Education Program at the Center for American Progress. In this first webinar, "Disrupting College: How Disruptive Innovation Can Deliver Quality and Affordability to Postsecondary Education," Soares will share key insights and observations from a recent report co-authored by Clayton Christensen, Michael Horn, and Louis Caldera that examines higher education through a lens of disruptive innovation. Rather than offering answers, Soares will challenge participants to consider new strategies for an educational system focused on success. Throughout the summer, subsequent webcasts will explore the critical role that technology can play in expanding the use of educational models designed to promote engagement, flexibility, and collaboration from the first wave of NGLC grantees. The Series No advance registration is required to participate. Each hour-long webinar is free and open to the public and session archives will be posted on the NGLC homepage the following day.
