Guidelines, Rules and Regulations during Online Class.
Introduction
Creating a safe and conducive virtual learning environment is challenging for it is totally different from
physical classes. Just as before COVID-19, fostering a safe, respectful, and peaceful learning environment
is crucial. Teachers are challenged to be flexible and adjust to the new normal teaching and so to make
learning effective without physical interaction. In order to make this happen, teachers need to establish
norms and practices that everyone must follow. There are things to be considered online, like student
privacy protection, which really needs attention as teachers manage online classes. Teachers need to
implement rules and regulations that students need to obey to make virtual learning effective, active,
and safe. (Prima & aldrin)
10 rules and regulations:
1. Set things properly ( Ann Mica)
Make sure you are prepared to attend the video call on time and that you have all the necessary work
available, both digitally and physically.
2. Avoid doing things that may distract your classmates like opening your cameras and doing funny
and inappropriate stuffs. (Ann-mica)
Getting away from distractions can allow us to think more clearly, to settle your inner thoughts
so you can really listen to your intuition and authentic thoughts.
3. Do not share the video conferencing link to people outside the organization and section.
I believe I am obligated to protect the privacy of the students. Therefore, I would create a virtual room
that only the people listed in my class record can enter. I would always remind them to be more
cautious not to spread the link of the room to somebody else. Students are going to share their photos
and open their cameras in the class and their full names can be seen there. If the students are assured
that their privacy is protected, their learning also is at ease. But if their privacy is at stake, they would
not want to learn in that state. (Kenneth Charles)
4. Sarcasm may (and often does) backfire. (Kenneth Charles)
Sarcasm has been the basis of many incorrect internet disputes, as it can be difficult to interpret the
commenter’s intent. What may appear to you to be an apparent joke may come off as offensive or
disrespectful to those who do not know you personally. As a general rule, sarcasm should be avoided in
an online classroom. Instead, lean toward being polite and direct in the way you communicate to avoid
these issues.
5. Don’t play with your computer or other devices (Jessica lamzon)
