The review's framing statement, citing Tu and McIsaac (2002) and Zhao et al. (2014), and noting that social interaction may reinforce social presence (Song and Yuan, 2015). The review attributes these relationships to prior research rather than testing them itself.
"Social presence influences the way how the social interaction in OGL groups unfolds online, which, in turn, affects the learning outcomes (Tu and McIsaac, 2002;Z h a oe ta l . , 2014)"
