Just as teaching good citizenship in our traditional classrooms is critical, it is also critical and more complex in the online environment due to the lack of face-to-face (F2F) communication. Communication should be focused, consistent, clear, complete and consise. Teaching communication is essential to student success. Developing a policy for academic honesty is a must to communicate at the beginning of the course. As well as remind students of their committment to honesty throughout the course. I can see adapting exit slips into discussion boards as a viable formative strategy.
