Online communication lacks verbal and non-verbal cues such as intonation,
gestures, stance, and facial expressions that are a regular part of face-to-face communication. The absence of these cues can quickly lead to misunderstandings in the online environment. Effective communications is key to s in online education, and that’s where the term “netiquette” comes in. As we enter into the new normal in education where the use of the internet, online classes, online submission of requirements will also be a new normal, it is important that we become aware of the digital do’s and don’ts. Just like how we are always reminded of etiquettes and ethics during our face-to-face or residential classes, we have also to bear in mind different etiquettes while we are online. Thus, we need to know about different online netiquettes. The word “netiquette” is a combination of the terms net and etiquette which refers to the set of informal and unwritten guidelines and set of rules for acceptable online behavior. Miller (2001) defines it as a blend of common sense, common courtesy and dictates of the computer technology and culture established by internet users. These are adaptations of real-life etiquettes and norms of behavior that we practice offline. Netiquette is a term describing how to interact clearly and respectfully with others in an online environment. In the In the mid-1990s, the term netiquette was coined to describe protocols and guidelines for proper behavior when using e-mail, Internet chat rooms, and electronic bulletin boards, such as our Forums. As more and more classes include online discussions, it becomes more and more important for instructors to understand the rules of etiquette that, when followed, help make the individual postings easy to follow, keep conversation threads focused, and the overall discussion on-track. Netiquette (Online Etiquette) is a set of rules that encourages appropriate and courteous online behavior. These rules are important as they promote communication skills, prevent miscommunications, and help you understand what is socially acceptable when working and collaborating online.
