Enhancing Online Adult Learning Through Emotional Social Intelligence Instructional Competencies
Abstract
The shift from traditional in-person classroom learning to legitimized programs of online learning for adult degree-seeking professionals has opened significant access and opportunity for institutions of higher education, as well as for the adult learners they serve. However, this increase in online graduate degree offerings has posed challenges to educators and the students they serve. Some of the most significant challenges for instructors are building and maintaining interpersonal connections and a socio-emotionally rewarding climate for learners.This chapter provides an analysis of how instructors can leverage emotional social intellligence (ESI) competencies in order to design and deliver learning experiences which support the unique needs of professional degree-seeking adult online learners in emotionally impactful ways. This chapter will specifically describe how online instructors may strategically use an ESI instructional framework to guide adult learners through beneficial socio-emotional learning experiences, in order to positively impact learning outcomes.
