Hello, Is Anyone There?: Strategies for Building Relationships in the Online Classroom
Abstract
It is well known that the online classroom structure can cause students to feel isolated and unsupported. Asynchronous discussion boards and digitally submitted assignments as well as not seeing the instructor or classmates face to face make for an impersonal learning experience. Knowing how to effectively connect with all students and working to build caring, authentic relationships can improve the online education experience for both the faculty member and the student. This chapter includes a review of evidence-based existing literature on building faculty-student relationships and making caring connections in the online environment. In this chapter, two online doctoral faculty members who have a combined 34 years of experience teaching in online classrooms provide practical strategies for building faculty-student relationships with the hope that current and future online educators can implement these strategies to better support student well-being and success while simultaneously promoting faculty satisfaction.
