Netiquettehttps://peda.net/id/cee526461612016-05-09T21:28:21+03:00<p>Impressions and perceptions of web course participants are formed unintentionally, but may have a significant impact on the general communication atmosphere. This atmosphere in turn determines the success of communication: does the message get through at all, and if so, does it get through in the way the sender intended?</p>
<p>Communication works best in an open and friendly atmosphere. You can contribute to its success by observing a few basic rules of netiquette. Netiquette is quite simply a collection of rules and norms for nice behavior on the web, enabling friendly interaction between all participants.</p>
<h2>Be yourself</h2>
<ul>
<li>Always sign in with your own username and sign all your messages with your name.</li>
<li>Don’t hesitate to bring forth substantiated views – they are just as valuable as everyone else’s.</li>
<li>Don't write things you might regret later. If you’re angry or upset, “sleep on it”!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Interpreting the messages of others</h2>
<ul>
<li>Remember that you are now interpreting messages on a textual basis only. You can’t draw any conclusions from body language or tone of voice.</li>
<li>Concentrate on finding out what the person who wrote the message really wants to say. Try to avoid making long-drawn conclusions about the writer’s intentions. If you are unclear about something, ask the person who wrote it for clarification.</li>
<li>Do not share private messages in public – that’s bad manners!</li>
</ul>
<h2>Use caution</h2>
<ul>
<li>It is advisable to approach some topics with caution. These topics include e.g. religion, politics, ethnicity, and sex.</li>
<li>There is no need for ‘censorship’. It is, however, important that your comments show respect towards each reader’s beliefs and privacy.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Keep us posted</h2>
<ul>
<li>If you are temporarily unable to attend your web course, be sure to inform your teacher or tutor about this. Remember to let your study partner or group know too; your absence affects their work as well.</li>
<li>If you want to drop out of the web course, inform your teacher or tutor. The decision is yours, and there is no need to explain or justify not starting a course or dropping out of one. It is simply important for us to know to keep things running smoothly!</li>
</ul>
<span>Observing the netiquette makes using the web more pleasant for everyone. Similarly, behaving responsibly is up to each one of us: simply because something has not been forbidden does not mean doing so would be nice, advisable, or even legal.</span>2016-05-09T21:28:21+03:00
