Michael,

I agree with this statement. I have never taught online but I imagine the effort to connect with the student is greater than in a traditional setting. The examples listed in this module provide great options to projecting yourself, but it also requires a greater effort from the students.

Assisting the Online Student

Thase are great examples that indirectly communicates with the unresponsive student. Utilizing the advisor can increase your chances to reach the student.

The Pygmalion effect and the power of the tongue

The students will act and react to the tone of the instructor. When we have full classes, it becomes easy to use the fact that it is " a large class" when explaining shortages of equipment, etc. What typically happen is that they will use that as an excuse for every short coming during the term. We should focus on the size of a class and the challenge that they may face without using the size of the class as an excuse.
