This presentation explores how different levels of instructor presence in online video lectures—visual and vocal, vocal only, and no instructor presence—affect student learning experiences. The study investigates students' perceived connection to the instructor, engagement, satisfaction, and learning outcomes. Participants will engage in watching videos, completing quizzes, and providing feedback through surveys. The research aligns with the conference theme by addressing the evolving needs of online instruction and providing practical insights into enhancing student engagement through instructor presence. The session will offer outcomes that guide instructors in designing effective online learning environments.
