Netiquette

Online asynchronous discussion does not have the physical and face-to-face contact of traditional
conversation. It can be described as a “faceless” conversation, and, often, breeds incivility because of the
apparent freedom to say whatever one wants and however one wants.

Civility in online classroom upholds the position that the classroom is a contact zone of people with
diverse humanity. To that effect, we should abide by these principles: netiquette.

1. Treat your classmates with respect when you respond to them.


2. Do not send your work (response or message) in ALL CAPS or with too many exclamation points.
3. Stay on the topic of discussion.
4. Do not use color codes to present your work.
5. Post your work in the required format.
6. Be mindful of the delay in asynchronous discussion and be patient for a response: do not show
anger or frustration.
7. Be sensitive to the diversity of the members of the class in how you choose your words: do not
offend others.
8. Do not use emoticons that are inappropriate.
9. Avoid saying what you cannot say in a traditional classroom where everyone sees your face.

In the words of P. M. Forni, “Courtesy, politeness, manners, and civility are all, in essence, forms
of awareness. Being civil means being constantly aware of others and weaving restraint, respect,
and consideration on into the very fabric of this awareness. Civility is a form of goodness; it is
gracious goodness. But it is not just an attitude of benevolent and thoughtful relation to other
individuals; it also entails an active interest in the well-being of our communities and even a
concern for the health of the planet on which we live.”
