IDENTIFY STAKEHOLDERS

When considering the stakeholders in the virtual classroom, I think it very important for the student to manage their time for work completion so the communication can occur in a timely fashion.  

As a parent, it is very important to help monitor student progress and remove any barrier that may impede completion of tasks.

The teacher really needs to monitor and communicate to the student and parent of strengths and weaknesses.  However, the teacher may not be aware of factors contributing to the student's low performance or completion rate.

The teacher also needs to recognize trends in class performance and alert an administrator or facilitator. If necessary, appropriate modification such as  added resources may need to be made in a reasonable time.  Facilitator may use information for possible program modifications.

Other stakeholders in an online environment are those at the next level once the student complete the course.  For example, college professors who will receive secondary level students.  Communication with these individuals assure that the learning environment is properly preparing students.  Of course we will not disclose student personal information but we can do a data analysis to make sure that we are giving students the best class setting that is available.

Other stakeholders not listed is the community at large to keep them abreast of the program and its benefits to the community and the need of support.
