Teachers demand protocol for emails - smh.com.au - 0 views

Joel Scanga on 08 Sep 13Found this interesting. It brings up the point of boundaries in eLearning. I can certainly respect a teacher's desire to not be connected to the classroom 24/7. A teacher should be able to set his/her own course policies. My course email policy allows for student emailing and the possibility for a response in the evening. If I am expecting learning to happen after hours (aka homework), I need to be as available as reasonably possible to the students. I wonder what the future might be in terms of eLearning and work hours of teachers. Could it be reasonable to give a teacher a few hours off in the middle of the day to in exchange be available to work with students in the evenings?
