Abstract: 

In this session, join us while we discuss tips and tricks on incorporating each instructor's individual personality and how it benefits online learners. We will also provide research and best practices on why this is so effective to today's virtual learners. 

Extended Abstract: 

Have you ever taken an online course and you really weren't sure who the instructor was?  Did you only know that person by their email address and maybe a quick blurb of a biography? Student's want to know that there is someone behind the curtain/course and that they aren't alone in their learning journey. In this session we will give attendees an insight into managing instructor presence online and how incorporating instructor personality can benefit online students in this vast learning environment.
