Faculty Best Practices
By creating a learning environment that is personal, students become more engaged in their learning. Frequent feedback from the instructor in an online course increases learners’ sense of engagement in the course. Learners are better able to manage their course activities when they know upfront when to expect feedback from the instructor.
