Respect the privacy of your classmates and what they share in class.

N e t i q u e t t e T i p s 1

http://wiki.lsc.edu/Netiquette


Ask classmates for clarification if you find a post offensive or difficult to understand.





Avoid sweeping generalizations. Back up your stated opinions with facts and reliable sources.





Understand that we may disagree and that exposure to other people’s opinions is part of the learning experience.





N e t i q u e t t e T i p s

Be respectful of each other. We’re all in this together. Before posting a comment, ask whether you would be willing to make the same comment to a person’s face.

Keep in mind that everything you write is recorded FOREVER. On the Internet there are no “take backs.”





Keep in mind that your online learning activities are part of a class. Something that would be inappropriate in school is inappropriate online.

Be careful with humor and sarcasm. Both can be easily misunderstood in virtual environments, especially by those who don’t know you or your brand of humor.





Review all discussion posts before adding your own to prevent redundancy and repetition.





Check your writing for grammar and spelling errors. Both reflect upon you.





Acronyms (LOL, BFF, etc.) and emoticons are commonly used in informal online communications. Don’t overuse them and remember that they are not considered to be professional.





Check your writing for grammar and spelling errors. Both reflect upon you.





Be sure to give credit to ANYTHING that you copy, reference, or summarize. If you can copy/paste it, it belongs to someone else. Respect intellectual property.
