Transactional Distance & Building Relationships in Online Environments with Dr. Shontale M. Bryant

Course design directly influences student perceptions and satisfaction in any course mode. Transactional Distance Theory encourages course designers and instructors to build learner interactions using dialogue, autonomy, and course structure to support learner needs and preferences. In this episode of the Lasallian Way Online, the CDI team talks with their own Dr. Shontale M. Bryant about current research and her recently published dissertation titled “Perceptions of Transactional Distance from Black Males in Asynchronous Online Math Courses.”
