Abstract

Online education for adult learners is increasing at astonishing rates faster than previously imagined. Research conducted by Snyder, Brey, and Dillow revealed that the percentage of students who participate in at least one online class increased from 15.6% in 2004 to 43.1% in 2016. Because of this phenomenon, the ability to connect with students is at the forefront for creating a successful experience. This chapter will identify the purpose and approaches to building positive relationships and strengthening rapport in the online environment. Not only would these strategies provide guidance in the traditional classroom setting, but they are especially beneficial in the virtual world when engagement is the key to success.
