Utilize the App To Build Your Connections
Usually, online courses will ask you to use several computer apps to get in touch with your professors and your classmates as well. Don’t shy away from using these. Always be online and chat with your classmates about the lecture or other things. Also, use online forums to help each other if a lecture is a little difficult to understand. Helping each other out will surely develop that rapport between classmates.
Use Social Media
If you’ve already built a rapport with your online classmates, you can take it to the next level by adding them on your social media accounts. This is, of course, if they are willing to welcome you to their personal lives. Not everyone is open to this idea, so don’t expect that everyone will be too eager to get in touch this way.
Social Gatherings
The ultimate way of building strong bonds with your online college buddies is through social gatherings. Being classmates in an online school doesn’t mean you can’t get together. The only challenge you’ll face is getting many of them to go. Remember that a lot of online students are working full-time jobs or watching children at home. So they may not have free time like everyone else.
