Abstract: The rise of reliance on adjunct professors as a predominate source of direct instruction has led to a shift in the opportunities for the student to interact with their teachers. Student expectations have shifted to include a demand of more interaction at times outside of the classroom. The proliferation of modern technology available for communication has provided many new ways for this interaction to take place. It is necessary for adjunct faculty and institutions to explore and leverage these new channels of communication to provide opportunities for timely and valuable exchanges between instructor and student.
