Abstract

Since Noddings (1984) first made a case for acknowledging care as a core element and value in pedagogical relationships, research on care in classroom environments has flourished. However, although research confirms the importance of a supportive environment for the success of the online student, we know little about how online instructors’ experience care—for their students and for themselves. This paper offers a phenomenological exploration of care as it appears in online postsecondary instructors’ interactions and relations with their students within the bounds of Learning Management Systems.
