Microphones pick up lots of ambient noise from physical space (e.g., computer fans, people talking in another room, televisions). • Don't eat, floss, use the restroom, etc. with your camera or phone unmuted. • Demonstrate 100% commitment and presence in the course • If students would not do an activity while sitting in the conference room at their clinical training site, they should not do that activity in the digital conference room of their practicum or internship class. • Do not surf the internet or post to social media during class. • Do not drive while attending class. • Do not prepare meals, write emails, or engage in any hygiene related tasks. • Do not actively engage in childcare during class. • There are a number of group options available during the week so that students may choose a time that they do not have to engage in other responsibilities. • If for some reason students need to excuse themselves briefly, it is appropriate to send a private chat message to the Program Faculty to inform them. Students should return to the meeting as expeditiously as possible and inform their instructor that they have returned, again via private chat message. • Turn off or mute cell phone. Students would not normally take non-emergency calls during supervision at their site. The same should apply to non-emergency calls during the NCU class. If students expect an emergency call, they can leave their phone on vibrate so they can discreetly check the call without disturbing others. If they are expecting an emergency call (or if they are on call for their site), students should let their Program Faculty know in advance so she/he can be prepared if the student must suddenly leave. • Protect Client Confidentiality • Guard the confidentiality of all clients whose cases are being discussed. It is not just the primary therapist who has a moral and ethical obligation to guard the confidentiality of the client. All participating in the case consultation share in that ethical responsibility. This means that family members, coworkers, or others not directly involved in the class should not be able to see the screen or hear the audio on the case presentation. Again, if the student would not invite this person into their clinical site's physical conference room, they should not invite them into the digital conference room, since discussion involves clients and very sensitive matters. • Always wear earbuds or a headset. • Attend class from a "closed" location (e.g., secure Wi-Fi, not allowing family members, friends, or strangers to overhear class conversation). • Do NOT attend class when physically located in a public space (e.g., Starbucks, McDonalds, local library). Do NOT join class from an unsecured Wi-Fi location
