Download Netiquette Guidelines

Here are some of the basic rules of Network Etiquette (known
as ‘Netiquette’) which you should observe when using the
virtual learning environment (moodle) or using messaging.
 Never put in a forum message anything you would not want everyone
to read as it can be read by anyone on the course.
 Use respectful language in all electronic communication.
 Be careful how you word what you are saying because messages can
be misconstrued without the aid of non-verbal communication to clarify
your meaning. Use smileys to indicate tone of voice, but use them
sparingly e.g. :-) gives 
 You should not send heated messages even if you are provoked.
 Respect the copyright on material that you reproduce.
 Keep your communications to the point.
 AVOID UPPER CASE LOOKS AS IT LOOKS AS IF YOU'RE
SHOUTING.
 Do not engage in ‘cyber-bullying’ and report any concerns you have
that cyber bullying or inappropriate use of moodle is taking place.
Concerns should be reported to [email protected].
