What is Online Etiquette or Netiquette?
Online Etiquette or Network Etiquette is the practice of courtesy and respect online between you and your instructor and peers. For many of us, taking an online course is a new experience. Think before you push the Send or Return key. Ask yourself, did you say just what you meant?. How will the other person on the other end read your words? While you cant anticipate all reactions, remember to read over what youve written before you send it. Flaming or flying off the handle and ranting at someone is unacceptable. If you have concerns about something that has been said, please let your instructor know. Participate and share your thoughts and solutions with other students in your class. Remember there are no dumb questions and even if you think your solution is obvious, please share it by posting it on the Bulletin or Discussion Board or through another online communication tool.
