Having been dropped into e-learning in the middle of a semester (Covid-19), this concept doesn't apply as much as for starting a new course completely online. Fortunately, authority had already been established. Also, all 3 of my classes were Level III courses, so I have had all of the students in class, at least, two times before this class.
Unfortunately, most authority was taken away by state polices that made participation optional at the high school level. This is not going well.
