Just like in a traditional setting, it is important to develop a sense of community in the classroom. It is important to get to know students and likewise it is important for students to get to know the teacher. This can be accomplished by having each student submit a biography the first day and the teacher can attach a biography of themselves that includes the academic credentials and experience. By the end of the first week, the teacher may send a personal message to individual students to help get acquainted with each other.
