You can leverage the power of instructor presence to strengthen relationships with students and enhance communication and engagement in your online courses. The efforts that we make to connect with our students in our online courses can increase student success. In addition, instructor presence in online courses is also central to a set of federal regulations that cover distance learning (commonly referred to as “regular and substantive interaction”, often shortened to “RSI”).
In this session you will explore the concept of instructor presence, its importance for student learning in online asynchronous courses, and its relationship to regulations on distance learning. You will also discuss and share ways that you currently create instructor presence in your online courses, and brainstorm ideas for how you might enhance your instructor presence.
