I ask this question, because I have had the privilege of teaching for Educate Online a few years back, and their online tutoring program was amazing.  I wish it was still available.  Students were tested and given a 'prescription' and their learning was tightly scaffolded.  The promise was we could increase their grade level by 1 year in 36 lessons.  If they did, they could keep the computer.  If not, their sessions would be free until they tested one grade level up.  

Always preparing a class in advance and with the proper coarse work for the learners to excel in the area of study. Have an open mind on the fact that there are 5 very important ways of learning is ideal to maximize every students needs. 

1. Noisy 

2. Quiet

3. Disruptive

4. Intimidators

5. Procrastinators 

Students each learn differently and teachers have and need the tools to adapt to each student 

Within the realm of e-learning, a diverse array of learner profiles emerges, each presenting unique characteristics and learning preferences. Let's delve deeper into these categories:

1. The Noisy Learners: These individuals thrive amidst bustling environments, finding stimulation and engagement in lively discussions and interactive activities. They often benefit from group collaborations and thrive on the exchange of ideas and perspectives.

2. The Quiet Learners: In contrast, quiet learners prefer a more subdued atmosphere, where they can focus deeply on absorbing information without external distractions. They excel in solitary study environments and often demonstrate strong introspective abilities, processing information internally before contributing to discussions.

3. The Disruptive Learners: This category encompasses learners who may exhibit disruptive behaviors, such as constant interruptions, off-topic discussions, or resistance to established learning structures. Understanding the root cause of their disruptions and implementing strategies to redirect their energy towards constructive learning activities is crucial in supporting their academic progress.

4. The Intimidating Learners: These learners may exude an aura of dominance or assertiveness, potentially intimidating their peers or instructors. It's essential to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where all participants feel valued and respected, regardless of their personality traits or communication styles.

5. The Procrastinating Learners: This group struggles with time management and may postpone tasks until the last minute, leading to stress and suboptimal learning outcomes. Helping them develop effective time management strategies, breaking down tasks into manageable chunks, and fostering a sense of accountability can mitigate procrastination tendencies and promote consistent progress.

By acknowledging the diverse needs and preferences of each learner type, educators can tailor their instructional approaches, leverage appropriate teaching methodologies, and cultivate a conducive learning environment that fosters meaningful engagement and academic success for all participants.

It is so important to be aware of students' outside influences and pressures. We never know how someone is responding to life outside the classroom. It can affect how a student responds to classwork.

Active learning is very instrumental in the student's learning experience and the instructor is the facilitator of that process

There was good information on identifying the various behaviors but it would be great to identify briefly how to address disruptive behavior in the  course instead just referring to policy.
