<p>Without clear boundaries and set expecttions from the instructor how can a student get started in and online classroom? Therefore, the rules and guidelines must be presented in the beginning of the course. Student must be highly engaged and willing to provide quality participation. It is the only vehicle they can utilize to succeed. Others students (shy personality types) will see that extrovert students whom participate form a sense of cohesive unity in the online classroom and therefore the inverts can "risk" participation as well. In the beginning the introductions are an essential part of the classroom and the instructor can set the pace for individual student participation.</p>
