Abstract

Technology and design can have a direct impact on instructor presence and the student experience. Technology tools are what allow us to create a strong instructor presence in the online environment. A strong instructor presence helps curtail student attrition and combats feelings of isolation reported by many online students. Instructor presence contains three specific types: social, cognitive, and teaching presence. Technology tools are available to facilitate each type to make a strong overall instructor presence. It is critical to design for instructor presence and support and train instructors to use the tools chosen to create a strong instructor presence. This chapter outlines the importance of creating a strong instructor presence and LAPU-integrated instructor presence into course design.
