The online learning journey requires a different relationship to instructors than you may have experienced in the past. You will not see your instructors as regularly face-to-face, yet you can still develop effective relationships with instructors who support you in your learning. By the end of this part, you will be able to do the following:

  • • describe the role of an online instructor
  • • develop an effective student-instructor connection

Go to the next chapter to move on in the resource.
