Chapter 3: Communication and Student Engagement

Communicating with your students is important in any learning mode but consistent communication is extremely important in an online learning environment. For some students, communication with their instructor is their only connection with the institution and without that, students often feel isolated. In addition to providing individual feedback on assignments, there are many ways to create and continue the feeling of community in an online course between the instructor and the students, the students with each other, and the student with their course materials.
