What is it?
The term netiquette refers to the etiquette of the Internet.
Although it may feel remote and distant when you send someone an
email message, remember that the recipient of your message will
read the message, and know that it was sent by you. Therefore you
should be careful when composing your email messages.
Basic rules
Netiquette is based on good manners and common sense. So, as with
other forms of written communication, it is good practice to observe
the rules below.

Other rules:
-
acknowledge receipt of your email if required.
-
do not use offensive language.
-
be polite to other users of the Internet.
-
speak and treat your facilitator and fellow students
with respect.

TIP - if someone has written you an inflammatory
email or posted something on a group discussion board which
has offended you, take time out before you reply. Sometimes
angry, hasty replies do nothing to solve a dispute. |
