When the student posts their introduction and a little about themselves, it's important for the instructor to acknowledge and welcome them to the class. Perhaps the instructor might feel comfortable sharing a few details about themselves as well. This way, the student feels like a person and not a student number in the course.
Not only sharing our own biograaphy is crucial, but knowing some of the students as well, is also important.

This portion attempted to show the importance of creating a positive experience with students and that increases student learning and student success.

I learned that asking the student to give you a biographical background can make a difference in getting to know the students that will create a relationship that will be helful to teach.
After 12 years of online teaching this is the most important, "establish and sustain a relationship of mutual trust, harmony, respect, and understanding among your students; to inspire new ideas from them, and to encourage creativity as you facilitate their learning." without the relationship you can never gain the trust of the student and they will not be able to help them with their learning.

Conducting myself professionally, while still being personable with make me appraochable to students.
Presenting one's academic credentials, professional experience, and uploading a brief bio are effective means to establish one's online presence.
Aside from the standard introduction and presenting my bio, I can send a personalized message to each student. I can also identify and discuss safe topics of the student's bio with them. I can stay engaged and answer their answers in a timely manner.
