I have done a lot of online courses and this one has been one of the most comprehensive ones I have had to do in a while !!!  So in light of the Podcast "152: Creating Moments of Genuine Connection Online"   It has been eye opening and yet comforting it is good to know that follow educators have been expressing the importance to create these connections that people sometimes take for granted.
