One of the challenges that online instructors face is creating a sense of connectedness in which students feel present, “seen,” heard, and part of the learning community. We know student engagement and learning are enhanced when students feel connected—students to the content, students to the instructor, and students to each other. In online environments, social presence is when students perceive that others are real, accessible, and engaged. Researchers such as Garrison (2017) and Lowenthal and Dunlap (2018) have linked increased social presence to higher student satisfaction, stronger participation, and more meaningful learning experiences in online settings. Given this, I offer several strategies to increase social presence and improve your online classroom climate.
