Please Help Others: The benefit of interactive education is that students can act as additional facilitators, and good teachers will allow themselves to learn from the students. No one is an expert in all-things technology. If you find that some of your students have more experience than others in using online discussion forums—and perhaps more experience than you—encourage them to be advocates and educators. This will not only give them a boost of confidence, but it will also help bring the other students up to speed. Furthermore, the students who receive help will probably appreciate it more than they will mention at the time, but will be more willing to help other students in the future.

Please No Flaming: The academic environment expects higher-order language. Do not tolerate tantrums on academic forums. Criticism, although a central part of academia, must be constructive, well-meaning, and well-articulated. Rants directed at any contributor are highly unacceptable. In addition, tell your students to avoid profanity. Keep it classy, people.

Behaviour:

• Students will be asked to identify yourself at the start of class so the roll can be taken, you must have your camera on and facing you.

• Unless instructed otherwise by teachers, cameras must remain on and facing you for the duration of the lesson or you will be marked absent.

• Be positive and respectful with your communications at all time.

• If you wish to speak, student must say his/her name and wait to be called on by your teacher.

•Each student will be called upon at some stage in the lesson, be attentive and ready to respond.

• Do not record the class (this will be done by the school and distributed afterwards).

• Taking screen recordings or screen shots is a breach of Privacy Laws and the School’s digital code of conduct.

Wellbeing:

• Take this learning experience seriously. It will be a bit strange at first, but we will all get the hang of it and get comfortable eventually.

• Take advantage of the virtual classrooms to engage with your teacher and classmates. You may feel quite isolated at home.

• Get up between classes and move around. Use the recommendations and welfare tips given to you to support your physical and mental wellbeing.

• Let your Teachers, or Your Coordinator know if you are struggling, having trouble accessing your lessons or are confused in any way.
