Students bring their lives and personal contexts to the classroom. This is an area of learning but also potential problems. All of these have to be managed by the instructor. 

Students needs one on one support and discussion in meetings, even in group settings

If students don't like you then they cannot learn from you. Having a relational presence is foundational of building trust

In elearning, learning and instruction is very flexible. Using various modalities will help connect with students and help them contextualize their learning.
