responding to a question or comment.

may divert your attention away from learning viz. minimize background noise by
turning off the TV and radio, off cell phones for avoiding multitasking work, mute
your microphones unless you are speaking, etc.
d. Remember the resource persons and other participants will be able to see you,so pay
close attention and focus on the classroom conversation and activities. Take notes on
the information presented. Ask relevant questions to clarify the material covered or
assignments given. Not join side-line chats with other participants when the resource
person is speaking.

and make sure your background is professional and work appropriate.

LOL (laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later), not all users are as familiar with
