-TP as lens to look at online teaching research
-TP as a set of observable actions performed by teacher
-TP as being content centered than learner centered
-TP as roles/tasks online teachers carry out
-TP as negotiated by teacher-learner depending on context grounded on activity theory (?)
-TP as a shared task/responsibility of teacher-learner but largely dependent on teacher
-TP as experience of the viewer/observer--whether 'teaching' is in fact happening or not depends on the participant--participant not solely member of the class--but a novice teacher such as I--observer.
Starting to question the construct of social presence---why do I see it as part and parcel of Teaching Presence--that is in fact inevitable--TP cannot be achieved without social presence in synchronous classes...one cannot study without not looking at the other. In asynch classes, teaching through lessons will continue,,,teachers do not necessarily have to establish social presence. But in synch classes--it becomes part of teacher actions that cannot be separated from her teaching esp in language learning---language as tool to mediate learning--learning in a social context. Social presence happens effortlessly then....
