Abstract
This study aimed to investigate through a rapid ethnographic research the behavior of the main communication tools of collaborative learning environments (CLE) to foster students' social presence. Two research questions guided this work: (1) Are there limitations of synchronous and asynchronous collaboration tools in promoting students social presence? (2) Does extending social interactions to external collaborative tools from the CLEs contribute to the improvement of social presence of the students? This research provided support for the redesign of synchronous and asynchronous communication tools for the CLE Amadeus [1], in order to improve students' social presence in online courses. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
