MAIN
 E-mail
Netiquette

When you send an email to your instructor, teaching assistant, or classmates, you should:
• Use a descriptive subject line.
• Be brief.
• Avoid attachments unless you are sure your recipients can open them.
• Avoid HTML in favor of plain text.
• Sign your message with your name and return e-mail address.
• Think before you send the e-mail to more than one person. Does everyone really need to see your
message?
• Be sure you REALLY want everyone to receive your response when you click, “reply all.”
• Be sure that the message author intended for the information to be passed along before you click the
“forward” button.

MAIN
 Message Board
Netiquette

When posting on the Discussion Board in your online class, you should:
• Make posts that are on-topic and within the scope of the course material.
• Take your posts seriously and review and edit your posts before sending them.
• Be as brief as possible while still making a thorough comment.
• Always give proper credit when referencing or quoting another source.
• Be sure to read all messages in a thread before replying.
• Don’t repeat someone else’s post without adding something of your own to it.
• Avoid short, generic replies such as, “I agree.” You should include why you agree or add to the previous
point.
• Always be respectful of others’ opinions even when they differ from your own.
• When you disagree with someone, you should express your differing opinion in a respectful, non-
critical way.
• Do not make personal or insulting remarks.
• Be open-minded.
MAIN
 Video Conference
Netiquette

To create a proactive approach to using video conferencing technology to enhance the faculty–student
interaction and class discussions in web-based online courses, the following video conference netiquette
should be followed:
• Find a quiet place in your home, put the pets away, mute your cell-phone and ask the family for quiet
space while you are in a video conference for your online class. Dress appropriately, not necessarily
that you will wear the prescribed university uniform.
• Get to the online class at least ten minutes early. Test your microphone and speaker settings so you can
hear the host.
• Mute yourself if the host has not already muted you. This is to avoid unnecessary noise in the
background and for everybody to concentrate on what the instructor or your classmates is presenting.
• Be mindful of your tone and expressions during the video conferencing session. This is not an
anonymous session. Your voice and video are viewed by all who are participating in the chat session.
Adhere to the same standards of behavior during the video conferencing session that you would follow
in real life.

NEXT
Video Conference Netiquette
• In the chat room, do not type in all caps as if you are screaming, do not use emoji's or multiple
exclamation marks, do not hit “enter” after each word, etc. Be sure you type out sentences and check
your spelling. This visual component of online etiquette also speaks about your professionalism.
• If you are in a breakout room (i.e. Zoom Room; a separate room set up by the host for small gatherings)
follow the guidelines your instructor has set down for you.
• Respect the context of the video conferencing session. Keep video conferencing session within the
context of the conversation. If the session is recorded do not post isolated comments that may be
taken out of context. Synchronous discussions take on a life of their own; therefore, it is important to
keep conversations in context.
• Be forgiving of mistakes during the video conferencing session. Video conferencing is a new
communication platform. There are bound to be technical glitches; be patient with the participants
during the session.
• Following your video conference online experience, you should explore all necessary settings to
customize your meetings, open your own account and eventually start hosting your own meetings with
your classmates.
