<p>Online instructors play a crucial role in the success of students. They're not just the faces behind the screen; they're the core of the course. We offer a roadmap for the students, guiding them through the material so they can navigate it more easily. Our expertise should stimulate our intellectual discussions that make the learning experience richer for everyone involved. It is important to also note that we as online instructors have a significant role mediating the interactions between the content and the student, so we must always be in contact with our students needs.</p>
