In the online classroom, I am able to project my presence by
1). Sending out a welcome letter before the course begins
2). Making weekly course overview announcements (what to expect, due dates, my contact info)
3). Posting a biography including both proefssional and personal accomplishments.
4). Be the first to post in the student lounge, encouraging further discussion.
5). Answer all questions on the Q&A board/email within 24 hours
6). Hold a synchronous teams meeting in the beginning, middle, and at the end of the course to interact with students in "real time"
7). Provide detail, formative feedback on each assignment
8). Actively engage in the discussion board 4-5 days per week to increase involvement and peer interaction
