Abstract	This paper reports the findings from a longitudinal case study at University of York, UK. It aims to investigate the development of social presence among online members in textbased online learning environment. The transcripts from the electronic bulletin boards posted by online students and tutors in Health Economics for Health Care Professionals by Distance Learning Programme were studied using a research technique called content analysis. The findings from this study suggest that students and tutors in this programme employed different types and exhibited different degree of social presence when communicating in OLCs. However, similar patterns of social presence were found in each group of online participants.
