- Abstract
Since Noddings (1984/2003) first made a case for acknowledging care as a core element and value in pedagogical relationships, research on care in classrooms has flourished. While 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 is experienced in online postsecondary instructors' interactions and relations with their students. The stories shared by four instructors highlight the 24/7 demands for care that are felt by the online instructor, and the tension that consequently arises between care for the students and self-care.
