- Refrain from personal abuse. You may express robust disagreement with what someone says, but don't call them names or threaten them with personal violence. Don't spam. That is, don't repeatedly post the same advertisement for products or services. Most sites have strict and specific rules about who is allowed to post ads and what kind of ads they are. Write clearly and succinctly. On a site that has many non-native English speakers, avoid using slang they may not understand. Remember that your posts are public. They can be read by your partner, your children, your parents, or your employer. Stay on-topic, especially when you're new. Don't post about football in a hair-care forum or about hair care in a gardening forum! Don’t use ALL CAPS!, it is seen as shouting. Be Respectful. Don’t say anything you would say in real life/face to face. Check spelling and grammar.
- E-Moderating Introduction The essential role of the e-moderator is promoting human interaction and communication through the modelling, conveying and building of knowledge and skills. An e-moderator undertakes this feat through using the mediation of online environments designed for interaction and collaboration. The e-moderator has an invaluable role to play in the successful implementation of the five stage model of learning. Stage 1 Access and Motivation - the e-moderators role is to welcome and encourage participants to interact, Stage 2 Online Socialisation - familiarising and providing bridges between cultural, social and learning environments, Stage 3 Information Exchange - facilitating tasks and supporting the use of learning materials Stage 4 Knowledge Construction - facilitating process Stage 5 Development - supporting and responding.
