Abstract
As the role of online education expands and becomes more prominent in society, instructors must find ways to better learn, understand, and incorporate unique techniques to reach students in online formats. Once regarded as something that is not as serious as face-to-face formats, online education has now been forced upon various educational institutions to continue with students’ learning processes, given the social distancing requirements. While stay-at-home orders may eventually be lifted and put back into place, online learning is here to stay. Being that it is currently essential, formal policies must be established and recommendations must be made to address the complex needs of students, faculty, and staff at different colleges and universities.
