How do students communicate with the instructor?
Students in an online class will often have more contact with the instructor than those in a more traditional format. The instructor will be available for electronic contact through communication tools such as e-mail or chat-room. In addition, students may have the option of telephoning the instructor or come to campus for an appointment during designated hours, if necessary. The course syllabus should list the instructor’s phone numbers, addresses, etc. Their communication form should be outlined in the syllabus too.
