As higher education adapts to the 21^st Century by increasing its online course and program offerings, we must not forget the need to maintain and develop the relationships and community among students and instructors.

This collection of posts focus on how we can translate what is done in a face-to-face learning environment to create and maintain such community to an online learning environment, using tools and techniques to encourage different types of relationships. In addition, as I work at a Catholic institution of higher learning, many of these posts contain the Catholic ethos for such education, which also stresses relationships and communities.
