Theory behind the addition of

sound into the online

classroom

Jumping In and Getting

Started

Adding Voice with Free Online

Programs


• Research revealed:

• Students believe they are unable to connect with their

instructors in online classrooms

• General problem:

• Faculty and administrators in online programs…

• Social and psychological connectivity needs of

students are not addressed

This lack of attention to the social and

affective needs has a negative effect on

learner satisfaction and retention

• More online courses

• Often less successful

• Higher dropout rate than in

traditional schools.

• Omission of social interaction

in distance learning

• Online instructors do not achieve

a social connection (e-connectivity)

with their students

(Slagter van Tryon & Bishop , 2006)

• Faculty do not consider the social

and psychological needs of each

student’s learning styles

(Fearing & Riley, 2005).


E-connectivity

Feelings of social connectedness

Between students and faculty

In a technologically enhanced online

learning environment (Slagter van Tyson, 2007; Slagter van Tyson & Bishop, 2006)


Show relevance to students

Establish e-connectivity

Instructor presence

Positive communication

Ability to be open to social networking

Use of technologies to e-connect


• To be heard

• To feel that they are

cared about

• To know that

someone is out there
