Instructors should focus on pedagogy and not be available 24/7. Classroom management involves sending students to tech support for technical issues, counseling for personal problems, and a web page for crashers. When communicating, minimize contact methods, set rules for communication, and divert emails to a shared classroom space. Online teaching is its own discipline that requires studying, and knowing HTML can be helpful for online instruction.
