Empathy by Design

Empathy by Design

Being empathetic is essential for delivering a humanized course, but designing courses to facilitate emotional intimacy is challenging, and online students often perceive their instructors as distant and uncaring. In this session, we will define empathy, review research on its instructional impact, and make the case that online empathy is largely a matter of design, not personality.
