Give the definition of the following.

 a. Online safety- is trying to be safe on the internet and is the knowledge of
maximizing the user's personal safety and security risks to private information and
property associated with using the internet, and the self-protection from computer
crime.
b. Online security- the standard definition of online security calls it the mix of rules
that are followed and actions that are taken to make sure online user data and
privacy aren’t compromised by cybercriminals.
c. Internet ethics- it basically refers to the analysis of the role that the internet
plays in what philosophers call the development of the good life - the kind of life
that we want for ourselves, for society over all, the kinds of people we want to be.
d. Internet etiquette- is the correct or acceptable way of communicating or
behaving on the Internet.

Give 5 online etiquette.

1. Respect others and their opinions. In online learning students from various
backgrounds come together to learn. It is important to respect their feelings and
opinions though they may differ from your own.
2. Consider others’ privacy. Ask for permission if you want to forward someone’s
email messages to third parties. Keep in mind that all private email mail is
considered copyrighted by the original author.
3. Pick the right tone. Since we depend on the written word in online learning, it
is especially important to choose the right words to get your meaning across. For
example, sarcasm is harder to detect when you read the words rather than hearing
them.
4. Avoid inappropriate material. Distribution of pornographic material will result
in disciplinary action.
5. Be forgiving. If someone states something that you find offensive, mention this
directly to the instructor. Remember that the person contributing to the discussion
might be new to this form of communication. What you find offensive may quite
possibly have been unintended and can best be cleared up by the instructor.

Give 5 tips to stay safe while using the internet.

1. Keep Personal Information Professional and Limited. Potential employers

or customers don't need to know your personal relationship status or your home
address. They do need to know about your expertise and professional
background, and how to get in touch with you. You wouldn't hand purely
personal information out to strangers individually—don't hand it out to millions
of people online.

2. Keep Your Privacy Settings On. Marketers love to know all about you, and
so do hackers. Both can learn a lot from your browsing and social media usage.
But you can take charge of your information. As noted by Lifehacker, both web
browsers and mobile operating systems have settings available to protect your
privacy online. Major websites like Facebook also have privacy-enhancing
settings available. These settings are sometimes (deliberately) hard to find
because companies want your personal information for its marketing value.
Make sure you have enabled these privacy safeguards, and keep them enabled.

3. Practice Safe Browsing. You wouldn't choose to walk through a dangerous

neighborhood—don't visit dangerous neighborhoods online. Cybercriminals use
lurid content as bait. They know people are sometimes tempted by dubious
content and may let their guard down when searching for it. The Internet's
demimonde is filled with hard-to-see pitfalls, where one careless click could
 expose personal data or infect your device with malware. By resisting the urge,
you don't even give the hackers a chance.

4. Make Sure Your Internet Connection is Secure. Use a Secure VPN

Connection. When you go online in a public place, for example by using a public
Wi-Fi connection, PCMag notes you have no direct control over its security.
Corporate cybersecurity experts worry about "endpoints"—the places where a
private network connects to the outside world. Your vulnerable endpoint is your
local Internet connection. Make sure your device is secure, and when in doubt,
wait for a better time (i.e., until you're able to connect to a secure Wi-Fi
network) before providing information such as your bank account number. To
further improve your Internet browsing safety, use secure VPN
connection (virtual private network). VPN enables you to have a secure
connection between your device and an Internet server that no one can monitor
or access the data that you’re exchanging. Read more about What is VPN

5. Be Careful What You Download. A top goal of cybercriminals is to trick you

into downloading malware—programs or apps that carry malware or try to steal
information. This malware can be disguised as an app: anything from a popular
game to something that checks traffic or the weather. As PCWorld advises,
don't download apps that look suspicious or come from a site you don't trust.

Give 5 rules to have reliable research using internet.

1. Don’t rely exclusively on Net resources. Sometimes your assignment will be

to do research only on the Net, but usually your instructors will expect you to make
use of both Internet and Library resources. Cross-checking information from the
Net against information from the Library is a good way to make sure that the Net
material is reliable and authoritative.

2. Narrow your research topic before logging on. The Internet allows access to
so much information that you can easily be overwhelmed. Before you start your
search, think about what you’re looking for, and if possible, formulate some very
specific questions to direct and limit your search.

3. Know your subject directories and search engines. There are several high-
quality peer-reviewed subject directories containing links selected by subject
experts. INFOMINE and Academic Info are good examples. These are excellent
places to start your academic research on the Internet. Google, Bing, Yahoo and
other search engines differ considerably in how they work, how much of the Net
they search, and the kind of results you can expect to get from them. Spending
some time learning what each search engine will do and how best to use it can
help you avoid a lot of frustration and wasted time later. Because each one will
find different things for you, it’s a good idea to always use more than one search
engine. For specialized search engines and directories, you might also like to
try Beaucoup which includes 2,500 + search engines and directories or the Search
Engine Colossus International Directory of Search Engines that includes search
engines from 230+ countries around the world.

4. Keep a detailed record of sites you visit and the sites you use. Doing
research on the Net inevitably means visiting some sites that are useful and many
that are not. Keeping track is necessary so that you can revisit the useful ones
later, and also put the required references in your paper. Don’t just rely on your
browser’s History function, because it retains the Web addresses or URLs of all the
sites you visit, good or bad, and if you’re using a computer at the University the
memory in the History file will be erased at the end of your session. It’s better to
write down or bookmark the sites you’ve found useful, so that you’ll have a
permanent record.
 5. Double-check all URLs that you put in your paper. It’s easy to make
mistakes with complicated Internet addresses, and typos will make your references
useless. To be safe, type them into the Location box of your browser and check
that they take you to the correct site.
