Abstract
This chapter explores the importance of developing positive teacher-student relationships as a mechanism to increase student engagement in virtual courses. Responses from 1,721 virtual teachers and 88 virtual program administrators were collected and analyzed. Results indicated that virtual teachers employed several strategies to build teacher-student relationships and that student engagement was a persistent challenge among even experienced virtual teachers. Further, results from administrators indicated that administrators play a critical role in supporting teachers and providing resources and recommendations for virtual teachers. The chapter concludes by providing specific recommendations for both virtual teachers and administrators on how to foster positive teacher-student relationships.
