This simple set of rules covers 5 expectations: Mute yourself except when you have the floor. Raise your hand virtually for permission to speak. (One person talks at a time.) Keep your video on for attendance purposes. Avoid distracting backgrounds or actions. Encourage each other with appropriate response emojis.

In addition to verbal communication, visual aids can also be helpful in conveying the rules. Create a visually appealing poster or chart that displays the rules in a clear and visible manner. Place it in a prominent location in the classroom where all students can easily see it.
