Projecting a strong presence in an online course begins with creating a clear, professional introduction that highlights your credentials and relevant experience. A well‑crafted profile helps students understand who you are, why you’re qualified, and what you bring to the course. Establishing this early builds trust and sets the tone for the learning environment.
Maintaining presence throughout the course is just as important. I make it a priority to initiate discussion sessions, guide conversations, and actively oversee team projects. By participating in discussions and staying visible, students feel supported and know that I am engaged with their progress. Consistent interaction, timely feedback, and ongoing encouragement all help create a meaningful online learning experience where students feel connected and motivated.
