Because a face to face setting allows personal interaction between the teacher and student, it is a lot easier to pull a student aside and discuss grades, motivation, or concerns. In an online setting, not so much. Communication must be top notch, because if it isn't, it could be the difference between a student failing and passing on the teacher's end. If authentic feedback and effective communication is not given, then the student will not have the resources needed to improve. By communicating through emails, Voki, Smore, Remind 101, or any of the number of online communication applications; online teachers can replace that face to face connection.
