This case depicts the real life adventures of a professor, Dante Alexander, who has been assigned to teach an online management class. He has never taught online before but is an avid learner; however, he is at a bit of a confusing and troublesome juncture point. His courses started off well enough, it seemed, with just a few glitches with getting students acclimated to being in an online course and accommodating some students with connection problems. After the first exam, more troublesome problems surfaced. One was a matter of possible collaboration on exams and the other involved the legality of “voting a member” out of a team project. He wondered how other professors handled such issues.
