Learning or delivering learning online doesn't mean you can no longer make a personal connection with your learners. Many choose a blended approach, using technology to connect. One way to achieve this is by adding an online meeting space to your course.
You can do this by embedding:
An LTI (for example if your organisation has set up a Zoom integration) or
A webpage/link.
