Better Online Faculty Communication

Better Online Student-Faculty Communication

By Katie Lepi

Online learning offers a host of conveniences that make it a popular option for students. Students don’t need to live near a physical university to take the classes, timing is often flexible, and it is generally a cheaper option than attending a brick and mortar school. Teaching in an online classroom  is a little bit different for each teacher: as in physical classrooms, everyone does it a bit differently! That said, there are some common complaints among online learners, and among them, students tend to note that they lack the faculty-student interaction that they would normally have in a physical classroom.
