Daniel Christian links to this document (60 page PDF) from the Online Learning Consortium offering "six recommendations for caring for students". The resource draws on a background and set of concepts based around the concept of care as a practice. Included in the recommendations are things like: developing an inclusive syllabus, chunking course content to manage cognitive load, authentic assessment, building presence and a learning community, integrating institutional supports into course curricula, and developing a personal learning network. As such, I would say that it presents care not so much as something new (readers will recognize all of those topics) but rather presenting existing and generally useful ideas from a new perspective.
