We will discuss the book's main ideas and share our own strategies. Join whether or not you've read the book. If you‘d like to review a copy of the book before the discussion, please email Bridget Arend at arendb@msudenver.edu Book description: More students than ever before are taking online classes, yet higher education is facing an online retention crisis; students are failing and dropping out of online classes at dramatically higher rates than face-to-face classes. Grounded in academic research, original surveys, and experimental studies, Connecting in the Online Classroom demonstrates how connecting with students in online classes through even simple rapport-building efforts can significantly improve retention rates and help students succeed.
