How Can I Earn Swift Trust in My Online Classes?

Swift trust: This concept was born in the business world, but its one that holds great promise for your online classroom.

Swift trust is a kind of relationship-building concept designed for use in quick-starting, short-duration groups or teams, as a substitute for the kind of trust typically built over long periods of time. It encourages participants to believe in both the good intentions and the efficacy of their leader and their group.
