9. Avoid language that may come across as
strong or offensive
Although the language of the internet
is‘fairly new‘, some aspects are
becoming conventional. Avoid
overusing emoticons and do not
write in capital letters, it will appear
you are shouting
An on line class room is still a class room.
Respect to fellow classmates and
facilitators are as important as ever.
Review, review and then send. There is no
taking back a comment that has
already been sent
Language can be easily misinterpreted in
written communication, sarcasm
and humor.
Some tips… about
communication in the virtual
environment
