What is considered good behavior online?
Communicating online is a big part of our everyday lives. It is important to understand the rules of online etiquette commonly referred to as Netiquette. Netiquette can be summarized by three simple rules:
- Remember that there is a human being on the other end of your communication
- Treat that human being with respect
- Do not transmit an online message that you would not be willing to communicate in a face to face environment.
Below are some student guidelines for the online class:
- Do not dominate any discussion.
