Becoming close with professors at large universities is tough because students are so isolated and anonymous. Doing so with online professors is even tougher, so you will have to make sure to focus on getting the attention of your professors – especially if you anticipate needing them for references later.

Participate More Than Required. Most online courses have minimum participation requirements. Exceeding them is a good sign to your professors of your commitment to the course.

Be Inquisitive. Asking good questions both of the material and the course is a great way to get professors to see that you are invested in your coursework.

Contact Your Professors. Avoid unnecessary emails but feel free to email your professors about questions outside the classroom environment (but related!). Asking for guidance for research projects or running an academic issue by a professor is a good way to make a good impression.
