2. The sense of instructor presence is created through
a combination of instructional design and delivery.
Videos, photos, narratives—depending on one’s

sense of presence in advance of course delivery.
“You can invest a little bit of time and energy in the
design phase…” – Larry Ragan Penn State World Campus
