EDCM 516 - Classroom Management for Online Learning

The online classroom presents a unique and at times challenging environment for keeping students engaged and on task. How can you keep your students focused when you have no control over their surroundings? How can you help your students interact when they’re not in the same room?

In this course, you’ll get the tools you need to create a classroom management strategy specifically for online learning. You’ll learn how to create an engaging classroom environment, build community, establish rules and procedures, and create student-centered structures in the online classroom. You’ll also plan for different types of interactions (student to teacher, student to content, and student to student), ways to prevent off-task behaviors, and strategies for managing off-task behaviors when they do occur.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently build and manage an online classroom to maximize learning for all students.
