What is the recommended size for an online seminary class?
There is an upper and lower limit to the
size of online classes.
The recommended size is 7 to 15 students.
It is important that the online class feel like a real
seminary class.
If only a few students are participating, that is very
difficult to do.
Leaders should consider combining those smaller
classes with other ward or stake units until there are
sufficient numbers to create an environment of a seminary
class online.
Classes are most successful when they have 10 active
students participating.
The seminaries and institutes coordinator will work with the
priesthood leaders in multiple stakes if those involved feel
it would be beneficial to combine
students into one class.
On the other hand, if there are more than 15 students, it
can quickly become too much work for one teacher, and it
may be necessary to divide and find another
teacher for the class.
