Participating in an online course can make learners feel isolated, anxious, and even frustrated at times. Sometimes asking simple questions can seem difficult as the only options available are to email your instructor or post your question in a class-wide discussion board. In addition to this, finding people to work with who are compatible with your learning, work, and communication style and who share similar interests, modes of communication, and time zones can be tricky. My proposed Pick.Me program would help to address these concerns. Please note that this is a fictional creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two options for presentation style and I have also created a mock-up website for Pick.Me. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 1 &#8211; Voice-Recording<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A3 - Pick.Me by Julia Underwood\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F868980820&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500&#038;secret_token=s-Kjr9cZ5uOLB\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 2 &#8211; Voice-Recording with Images<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A3- Pick.Me\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/86awCMVSIYY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Site Mock-Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/juliaunderwoodjau.wixsite.com\/pickme\">https:\/\/juliaunderwoodjau.wixsite.com\/pickme<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Group Generators Mentioned:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Class Dojo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classdojo.com\/\">https:\/\/www.classdojo.com\/<\/a><\/li><li>MOOCLab: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mooclab.club\/pages\/study_buddy\/\">https:\/\/www.mooclab.club\/pages\/study_buddy\/<\/a><\/li><li>Picker Wheel: <a href=\"https:\/\/pickerwheel.com\/\">https:\/\/pickerwheel.com\/<\/a><\/li><li>Random Group Generator: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.randomlists.com\/team-generator\">https:\/\/www.randomlists.com\/team-generator<\/a><\/li><li>Random Student Generator: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transum.org\/software\/RandomStudents\/\">https:\/\/www.transum.org\/software\/RandomStudents\/<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bolliger, D.
