Deleting Messages and Blocking Students

Reasons to Block a Student

It is the instructor's responsibility to maintain control of class, and host a safe online learning environment for students. Here are common reasons to block students in class:

  • The student makes rude/derogatory comments to you or other students
  • The student acts inappropriately on camera
  • The student spams the classroom chat

In most cases, students will stop acting disruptively/inappropriately if the instructor provides a general warning to class. If the student continues, review the steps below to handle a student.

If you are using an alternate platform, you are responsible for managing incidents that occur in your classroom. Here are some links to some support articles for our services. However, teachers should always take time to research how to use the tools associated with the platform they will be using to teach.
