Universal Norms for Virtual Synchronous Learning
Before a class begins:
o Test that needed technology works (especially if using new hardware, software, or location).
o Watch video tutorials when available.
o Maximize the connection by:
§ Plugging into a power source.
§ Plugging into an Ethernet cable (if unable, getting as close to a wireless router as possible).
§ Closing unneeded programs.
o If sharing video:
§ check self-view by ensuring your face is framed/angled appropriately
§ and not in shadow (don’t sit with back to sunny window, have a light on in front of you).
o If sharing audio:
§ Minimize extraneous noises.
§ Use headphones.
§ Mute when not talking.
Treat the session as much like a normal meeting/class as possible:
o Respect start and end times.
o Listen, participate, and maintain eye contact.
o Avoid unrelated activities (you probably wouldn't iron clothes in a meeting or classroom).
Respect the specific etiquette for each class/instructor.
