Managing Classroom Culture and Community in Online Learning

Viewpoints Discussion Series

Thursday, May 20 | 3:30PM – 4:30PM

Classroom management and building a respectful community culture in a virtual environment can be approached in different ways. Some may feel there is no need to manage the online environment, others find it harder with the many tools of distraction and options for private conversations, while others find new ways to oversee the learning community. Come share your viewpoints on building a respectful classroom community and managing how the classroom looks, feels, and sounds when teaching online and within digitally-enabled learning spaces.
