In analyzing the data; descriptive statistics, stepwise regression analysis and one way ANOVA are used. Study results shows that e-learners perceived co-presence could be predicted with two variables; organization and help seeking, e-learners perceived influence could be predicted with three variables; organization, help seeking and effort regulation, e-learners perceived cohesiveness could be predicted with three variables; help seeking, organization and effort regulation, and e-learners perceived social presence could be predicted with three variables; organization, help seeking and effort regulation.
