Greetings, I am working on a study in the area of online learning. I am attempting to learn more about the relationship between a student's desire for social interaction and their perception of Social Presence with their engagement in a class and their satisfaction in the class. Currently I am developing an instrument to gather data. This instrument will have a scale for "Social Interaction Desired in Learning", "Social Presence", "Course Engagement", and "Satisfaction". I am seeking experts in these areas to review and provide expert opinion about items in these areas to help me isolate the best for data collection. Knowing the quality of researchers in this group I was hoping that some of you might self-identify as experts in one or more of these areas and agree to review my items. If you would agree to do this for me I would appreciate it! The process won't take too much time. Just follow a link below, read each item and rate the item on the five point scale. You will be giving your expert opinion about the ability of each item to elicit valid responses from students in online classes. The links to the scales are below. If you review a section I would appreciate you sending me an email (bnewberry@ku.edu) and tell me about your expertise and also give me additional feedback on my items or scales.
