Teaching online is all about making connections. As the online environment is a magnet for diversity, the connections online students make with each other and with course content have the potential to be especially rich. This diversity plays a role in how and what students learn.

My professors got it that it’s not a face-to-face classroom experience. They got it that they needed to be attentive and responsive. They encouraged us to call and text. They were never rushed. They often followed up to make sure I understood.
