While negative behavioral issues are similar whether learners are in-person or online, the online environment may seem to offer a degree of protection making it ripe for disruptive behavior. I learned that it is important to be familiar with the policies of the college and direct learners to the appropriate sections.
I believe that it is important to establish the foundation of the course and follow the policies outlined in the syllabus. If students are succeeding, there are less likely to be disruptive.
