Being there

It would have been nice to get more than this 6-paragraph minimalist treatment of the ideas in this post. Steve Wheeler argues that "Almost always, social presence is a deciding factor in whether students persist in their remote studies, or whether they give up." Can teaching or cognitive presence make up for this (see, for example, the CoI model from the late 90s). And if presence is grounded in the various affordances of techning technologies, shouldn't we be designing with affordances, rather than learning objectives, in mind (as I have suggested)?
