Perceived social presence | 10 | The psychological sensation of the other being “there” in the communication, i.e. the perception of non-mediation | Verbatim from Anon (2018) | 104.11/35 = 2.97 | 0.04 | 0.93 | 0.95 | 0.95 | 0.94 |
Preferred social presence | 10 | Preference for a degree of social presence within this learning scenario/activity | Adapted from Anon (2018) | 103.17/35 = 2.95 | 0.03 | 0.92 | 0.93 | 0.97 | 0.95 |
Interaction integration | 6 | Perception of the degree to which learning success is conditional on successful student-student interaction. | Newly developed | 65.76/26 = 2.53 | 0.02 | 0.91 | 0.93 | 0.78 | 0.76 |
Satisfaction | 4 | The extent to which students are content with all aspects of the learning experience | Anon (2017) | 10.25/2 = 5.12 | 0.01 | 0.99 | 0.99 | 0.93 | 0.92 |
Perceived Learning | 4 | The extent to which students feel they have acquired new knowledge about the class topic | Anon (2017) | 2.01/2 = 1 | 0.04 | 0.99 | 1 | 0.93 | 0.92 |
