During my first course session of every semester, I only really cover one communication "rule" and that is that students need to be respectful of one another during our live meetings. I explain that I will remove any who is not being respectful from the live lecture. However, I do not give specifics, nor do I explain this rule with any depth. I think, in the future, setting down specific guidelines and sharing those guidelines in a more cohesive way will be helpful.
