Since online learning environment is a bit different than face-to-face setting, make sure you sound respectful, polite, and knowledgeable when you post in
our online classroom. It is very important to understand some common rules for good online etiquette. This ensures that the message you intend to convey is
received correctly. Hence, always remember and obey the following online classroom rules:
1. Always use your real name as username in our official online platform for ease of identification.
2. Questions/Inquiries regarding the lessons should be addressed in the official online classrooms and group chat. Do not directly message your instructor
through messenger/text so that if the same questions/inquiries are raised, the answer is visible for everyone.

“Please” and “Thank you” when asking for help from your classmates.
