Abstract: Online teaching presents unique challenges – and opportunities – for “teaching the whole student,” especially in asynchronous courses. The lack of “face time” between students and instructor and the learner-driven nature of online education make it difficult for online educators to build community and connection with – and between – students. As HRD educators it is important to understand the flexibility of online learning in terms of creating opportunity for meeting the needs of students and building diverse learning experiences.
