6 things that must be accepted in the online class
In the current world situation, everyone has been told to
maintain social distance. So we are at home to deal with the corona virus.
Schools, colleges and universities have been closed for a long time. But how
many days and all the activities of the country can be stopped! So now classes
have started in the universities sitting at home. Not only universities, but
also many schools and colleges are offering online classes. Since this is the
first time we have encountered such a situation in this horrible time of
Covid-19, due to lack of previous experience, not many people know about online
class etiquette or etiquette. So today I am raising the issue of online class
etiquette in front of you. Let's start without further ado!
Something about online classes
Before rushing to a laptop or phone after listening to an
online class, we should first learn about its etiquette. Although most of us
are supposed to be in common sense, because we do not have regular habits, if
we are not careful about this, something can go wrong unknowingly. So, the
online class etiquette is highlighted below-
1) Clothing
When we think of online classes first, we will be relieved
to think of the traffic jams and getting ready every day. Isn't it? But even if
you forget about traffic jams, you can't talk about attire or clothes at all.
Even if you take classes at home, you still have to follow the formalities for
online classes. It shows how important you are to the online class. So at least
as much as can be seen on the screen so that it can be seen neatly. However, if
your class relies on audio instead of video, you can skip this etiquette.
2) Know how to use tools before class
"I'll think about it when the class is over" - saying that if you don't know much about online tools, you will be reluctant to attend class time later So, before the class starts, you need to have an idea about those tools i.e. apps. If you are not careful and do not know how to use all these tools, many may mistakenly mute the teacher during the class, which would be very disrespectful. So learn about the tools to avoid such embarrassing situations. In general, Zoom, Cisco WebX, Google Meet apps are popular for online classes.
3) Class environment
Don't you have to worry about the classroom environment
because you are sitting at home? Um, of course, yes, I know this, why it's
something known in advance. Instead, you need to be more serious when you sit
at home and take classes. It's a good idea to share as much of your personal
life as possible in class time. And during the class, it is better to choose a
place where there will not be much noise, and the background should be like a
plane. If it is not possible to control the noise around your home, it is best
to keep it muted. When you need to ask a question or have a discussion, unmuteyou.
4) Use other online platforms during online classes
When you take online classes, you may want to use your
social media or any other online platform by opening another tab next to it or
checking your smart phone repeatedly. But it should not be at all. Later you
may face the problem of missing the lecture. Also, not paying attention to your
teacher is out of the ordinary.
5) Be punctual
Many people can't be on time even if they sit at home and
take classes. Many people come and sit and attend the online class after the
start of the class according to the scheduled time. It shouldn't be. Because,
by doing so you are disrupting the class, which can be annoying to others. So,
keep in mind that it is important to attend classes on time and also submit all
the assignments or homework given in the online class on time.
6) Regular classroom etiquette and student participation
Excluding regular classroom etiquette because you are taking
classes online, it is not at all desirable to take classes while lying down and
reclining on the bed. You may not sit next to your class, but you will do it
together. So, it is your responsibility to keep the classroom in order. You can
take online classes at the reading table or on the sofa or on the side of the
dining table where the walls are. And of course online classes should be
attended sincerely. Be sure to keep a notebook and pen with you. Also, it is
not right to miss classes. Remember, teachers are taking classes for you. It is
your responsibility and duty to give them due respect.
Before finishing, I request you to comply with the online
class etiquette. These habits will work for us in the future. At the end of
your education, when you work or do business, you may have to have important
official meetings from one country to another at home. Now if you get used to
these online class etiquette, it will be good for your future. Good luck to
everyone. All will be well.
