Conflicts involving school, such as school-work conflicts and school-family conflicts are likely to be particularly relevant in graduate student populations. As an online educator working with graduate students, I will share anecdotal evidence supporting the relevance of such conflicts. I will discuss some of the challenges that I have observed with students as they worked to balance these competing responsibilities. I will also share best practices for helping students to cope with these challenges. Throughout this presentation, I will encourage strong audience participation to gain a deeper insight into how school related conflicts emerge and are addressed in online education.
