Value generating interactions occur in service ecosystems (Vargo & Akaka, 2012). The online learning ecosystem contains various service providers and actors performing value interactions. For instance, in asynchronous online learning environments, students interact with each other through computer-mediated communication channels. However, researchers have found that online learning can be isolating and lack quality interactions (Coppola, Hiltz, & Rotter, 2002; Glazier, 2016). The problem addressed in this study is diminishing student retention rates stemming from low social presence in asynchronous online classrooms (Bowers & Kumar, 2015; Kear, Chetwynd, & Jefferis, 2014). Guided by the social development (Vygotsky, 1962) and media naturalness (Kock, 2004) theories, this quasi-experimental study examined the influence of communication channel selection and learner characteristics on social presence. A convenience sample involved 378 undergraduate students enrolled in a management course at a private university located in the United States. The study consisted of one treatment group who interacted in an audio-video discussion thread and the control group who interacted using text-only exchanges. Following the treatment period, a total of 108 students responded to an anonymous online survey. The Mann-Whitney U test results indicated that there was no significant difference in social presence perceptions between students participating in the audio-video and text-only discussion forums. The ordinal logistic regression results suggested that learner characteristics (age, gender, self-efficacy in online learning, and computer-mediated communication experience) significantly predicted social presence perceptions. The findings advance the understanding of social presence and communication interactions in online learning. Additional research involving a larger, more diverse, sample in post-secondary online ecosystems will build on the body of knowledge related to student-to-student interactions and provide insight to academic leaders in the competitive online ecosystem.
