The mixed-method was applied by conducting 15 questionnaires and interviews. The results indicated that social presence is significantly interrelated with cognitive presence in an online learning environment. Qualitative data highlighted the importance of social presence indicators for establishing an online learning community in social presence constructs such as affective communication, group cohesion, and open communication. Besides, this study suggests silence, mutual attention, and support, and being present are the new themes being considered as essential constructs in social presence. The results implied teachers' need to create an open climate, attention to activate students' participation, and guidelines for group collaboration. Silence, mutual attention, support, and presence are essential aspects of social presence in online learning. © 2022 ACM. date: 2022 publisher: Association for Computing Machinery official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85148597290&doi=10.1145%2f3572549.3572597&partnerID=40&md5=2a1e3273b7c650d7e7a3914fec3d09a7 id_number: 10.1145/3572549.3572597 full_text_status: none publication: ACM International Conference Proceeding Series pagerange: 299-303 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781450397766 citation: Pham, C.K. and Chong, S.L. and Wan, R.
