Abstract
This chapter reviews some of the essential ingredients in creating a post-secondary online learning environment that is diverse, inclusive, and promotes connection and engagement across the program lifecycle. Various initiatives to build student engagement and connection are discussed. The authors also argue that while most of the attention on engagement in the educational setting focuses on student engagement, equal consideration must be given to faculty and staff engagement to create the optimal environment.
