CODE OF CONDUCT

PARTICIPANT CODE OF CONDUCT FOR VIRTUAL LEARNING SESSIONS

ZOOM CLASS SESSIONS: 

The Zoom class sessions are an important component of Remote Learning. In large measure, they provide the needed interaction of a live traditional class. Given the constraints of the medium, all participants in the Zoom class sessions are expected to adhere to the following rules and best practices in order to ensure the best possible learning environment. 

Participation 

  • Please arrive on time for each class session. Students will enter into the “waiting room” before being admitted to the session.  

  • The device being used should be identified by the student’s full name, which is the name the teacher will see on the Zoom “waiting room.” Changing your name to something inappropriate is unacceptable behavior and will be addressed immediately. 

  • As expected of any class interaction, participants are to treat each other with courtesy and respect. 

  • Offensive or inappropriate language is not to be used in any form of communication. This extends to emails, discussion postings, group projects, and submitted assignments which may be part of or an extension of the Zoom interaction. 

  • Use of any profanity - written, drawn, displayed or spoken - during a meeting is unacceptable. 

  • Taking screenshots or screen recordings of virtual classrooms without the explicit permission from the teacher and class members is unacceptable. 

Disciplinary Action for Unacceptable Behavior 

  • Disruptions to a Zoom session may lead to the removal of the student from a remote learning session for part or the entire session. 

  • Repeated disruption will be reported and may lead to suspension from Zoom class sessions altogether.  

Students may face immediate suspension or expulsion from the Global Air Drone Academy for any of the following major infractions: 

  • Entering a meeting fraudulently. 

  • Creating negative images of meetings using screenshots or screen recordings of any member of the faculty, staff or administration. 

  • Using profanity or obscenities in any form. 

  • Verbal or physical abuse in the form of intimidation, harassment, or threatening behavior directed toward the teacher, fellow students or administrative staff.
