Faculty involvement is an essential aspect of any successful educational program. Students need to trust and enjoy learning from their instructors, and faculty members play a crucial role in fostering this positive learning environment. However, in the case of the college I work for, an online school, there is no in-person orientation or equivalent for new students. This means that there are no opportunities for students to establish a personal connection with their instructors. Despite this limitation, there may be other ways to ensure that students feel supported and engaged in their online learning experience.
