The Importance of Communication
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 the only connection they have with the institution. In addition to providing individual feedback on assignments, there are many ways to create and continue the feeling of community in an online course.
