Students that complete HE learning as DL students often have a multitude of learning support to encourage the social interaction for students and tutors - but what is the benefits and pitfalls of provide too much or too little?
I am a tutor of students studying totally DL learning and levels 4, 5, 6 and 7. I would consider these andragogy learners as the age and pre-learning places them more in this frame that a pedagogy learner. Student age range from 20-50, this has its own challenges and one that creating the environment of a virtual social environment is both complex and varied - but what is the best approach and what research is available to study this subject line?
Distance learning has faced many challenges, one of them is the engagement between the teacher and student. However, this always can be solved by effective communication.

Building Engagement with Distance Learning provides a framework for supporting all students, including those with significant cognitive disabilities, to actively:
interact with others;
engage with classmates;
learn grade-level general education curriculum and other essential skills; and
participate in routines and transitions.
Think about distance learning for students with disabilities as happening in phases. The First Phase focused on getting something going for students, even if it was not perfect. The Second Phase is thinking more holistically about the students, how to embed learning opportunities in their home environments, moving forward with greater collaboration with team members, including parents and siblings, and using online tools to provide greater access and engagement. The Third Phase, which we are now entering, is when programs integrate the principles of quality inclusive practices and effective instruction into distance learning. And the Fourth Phase involves both considering strategies to support hybrid learning as well as ensuring that the knowledge, skills, and collaboration that were gained during distance learning transfer back into the classroom.
There could be two great answers to what you are doing.
First, build a community. Relationships must be built, maintained, and expanded. A community can be synchronous or asynchronous. Move beyond the subject matter, but never lose it as your ending point.
Secondly, meet students where they are. Do a needs assessment and offer multiple modalities to have meaningful interaction at a social, emotional, academic, and spiritual level.

Efectivamente, el aprendizaje a distancia enfrenta grandes desafíos, pero la primera barrera que debe vencer es la comunicación e interacción, pues es un favor fundamental para promover la retroalimentación y un aprendizaje para toda la vida. El profesor debe ser un promotor, un guía, un mediador en todo este proceso e incentivar el aprendizaje autónomo.
Distance learning has become part of digital age education. Application of audio-visual media communication is a part that can overcome space, distance and time, the challenge is that the bond between teachers and students must communicate effectively and must be able to follow norms, ethics and culture internationally
In this era of digitalising education and distance learning one of the challenges which face teachers is the gap of interaction between teachers and students, therefore teachers try to find ways to abridge this gap. Good topic.
