2016 Annual Conference

The online learning environment creates new classroom management challenges. This presentation will explore those challenges and their impact on student success. Participants will engage in brainstorming and create a list of techniques for managing challenging behaviors in the online environment.

The target audience for this presentation includes faculty members and administrators who work with online courses and programs.

Online education provides adult students with unprecedented access to academic programs. The online learning format also creates new classroom management challenges for faculty and staff. It is important for instructors, administrators, and support staff to adapt the traditional techniques used to manage negative or difficult behaviors to accommodate for the context provided in the online environment. The impact of positive classroom and program management can influence the success of individual students, student cohorts, and overall programs. This session will explore methods of managing negative behaviors in the online environment. Participants will create a list of techniques that can immediately be used in their classrooms or programs.
