Your learners have probably had this thought before: If I decide to randomly stop taking this course, would anyone notice?
According to the Journal of Educators Online, students most likely drop out of online courses due to a lack of instructor contact and social interaction.
Encourage learners to stay motivated and engaged by automating several touchpoints throughout the course.
When instructors keep in touch with learners, it motivates them to progress and finish through their courses. An automated email communication can keep a student motivated by making them feel that someone is there. The presence of an instructor through with regular checkins after major milestones keeps up that feeling of connection without requiring a ton of extra effort.
