Teaching and learning are relational activities. People learn from and with one another, through teaching, observation, collaboration, interaction (synchronous or asynchronous), or reading or viewing materials published by other people.
A frequent complaint about online learning and webinars is that people miss the relational aspect, the interaction with other people. There’s a sense that online learning feels passive and solitary. In truth, some online learning is designed as if it’s guided self-study and some webinars are primarily one-way communication. But it doesn’t need to be that way.
