Acknowledge the importance of your role in supporting student wellbeing and your wellbeing. Let students know how you will support their wellbeing.
Recognize that online students may be facing challenges with technology, working from far-off time zones, or competing priorities. Include flexibility in your online course to help address these challenges.
Creating opportunities for students to connect with you and each other can help build a strong learning community and improve student learning.
Students may need help to succeed in the online environment. Resources like Keep Learning are designed to provide this support.
