There may be some students who will try to intentionally challenge you, and the best way to handle those types of students is to maintain your composure and respond unemotionally.

Synchronous meetings may have their place, too. They are most effective between an instructor and a single student. Asynchronous meetings are preferred for a whole class, and this type promotes engagement and interaction amongst many different learning types.

It is imperative to form a relationship with your students early in the course, so that the respect goes both ways.

It was good to be reminded that students may need technical support during the course in order to feel success.
