Based on ten years teaching a Masters level course in presence design and production, an interdisciplinary team of teachers present a series of reflections. The topic of mediated presence requires that both teacher and student indulge intheory and practice from a range of disciplines. The course pedagogy described in this paper focuses team-based design, learning by doing, prototyping and scenarios. The intended learning outcomes (ILO) cover spatial and temporal strategies for producing presence, along with critical design concepts: how to establish trust in mediated environments and the formation of a tacit communication contract between participants. The analysis of the reflective home assignment which concludes the course, shows that the intended learning outcomes were reached; the students show a fundamental understanding of how the presence experience relates to a combination of spatial and technical design. Through their prototypes and scenario constructs, the students further demonstrate necessary skills to successfully design, prepare and carry out a variety of presence situations extrapolated from their gained knowledge.
