Practical Strategies in Improving Teacher Immediacy of Online Instruction

Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingChapter

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to explore why we have to turn our attention to human elements of teaching, conceptualizing ?eacher immediacy,?and to gather empirical information from which online teachers benefit when thinking of online practice reform. Simply recognizing the importance of human touch and teacher immediacy in online will show the path that online teaching should follow. This paper sets out the definition of teacher immediacy, a term which is proved to be significant in student learning, motivation, and satisfaction in traditional classrooms, and then details practical guidelines of teacher immediacy which online teachers can consider toward the end of more effective teaching.
