Designing for Immediacy and Culture
Abstract
Immediacy represents the psychological distance experienced by individuals who are remotely located. Interaction between students, instructors, and content are tied to increased immediacy. Verbal and nonverbal communication behaviors underpin immediacy and creating a sense of community among online course participants. Culture is a critical component that determines how students communicate verbally and nonverbally. Recognizing student differences and similarities can be a powerful community builder. Designing online courses that promote cultural openness and understanding is an essential piece of the learning landscape. Rather than viewing culture as something to avoid, culture should be viewed as an immediacy, community, and learning enabler.
