First it considers the model for e-presence based on the different layers proposed by Garrison and Anderson (2003): "cognitive presence'' (emphasis on the reflexive) and "social presence'' (emphasis on the collaborative) to which "designed presence'' is added (emphasis on the platform constraints and opportunities) (Frau-Meigs 2013).20172017/05Springer International Publishing11025438-47Spainhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_5https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_5978-3-319-59044-8yescognitive presencedesigned presencedistanceE-presenceE-qualityECO projectmodelqualitysMOOCsocial presencesustainabilityhttps://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-59044-8_5Madrid, Spain, Europe
