Abstract
Teaching in an online asynchronous modality would seem to create a challenging classroom management experience. Proximity does exist in the online classroom and can be achieved through applying several best practices and learning theories. Through the use of Remind app, and other forms of technology, a student’s perception of instructor proximity can be changed. Using technology (Remind app), the instructor can foster engagement, emphasize socialization and personalization and create a learning community that is critical to the formation of new knowledge. This study provides insight to student perceptions of instructor presence in the online classroom.
