Participants (N=81) who used avatars in semester-long collaborative group project were examined. A factor analysis Self-Presence Questionnaire (SPQ) was mostly consistent with self-presence, though new sub-factor emerged, possibly due SPQ items or limitations environment. Factors related social presence as expected, but not frequency avatar changes. These findings framework, deeper explorations are still necessary.
