The aim of this paper is not only to demonstrate that ethical issues are really committed with the e-learning process, but also to design a model, where ethics should be present in all phases of e-learning.

47. Netiquette for Online Students
1 Be Scholarly
• Do: Use proper language, grammar and spelling. Be explanatory and justify
your opinions. Credit the ideas of others through citing and linking to
scholarly resources.
• Avoid: Misinforming others when you may not know the answer. If you are
guessing about something, clearly state that you do not know the answer.
48. • Be respectful. Remember that you are communicating with actual people, and be sure to be courteous and show
respect, even if there are differences of opinion. Remember the golden rule: treat others as you’d like to be treated!
• Think before you post. Be aware of who may be able to view your posting, and how your post may be interpreted.
Try to maintain a fair and objective tone.
• Stay on topic. Make sure your communication is related to the subject at hand and does not wander off-topic.
• Write clearly. Even though the online environment may seem more informal than your face-to-face class, this is still
an academic course and intelligible, mature communication is expected. Correct spelling and grammar are required,
and proper sentence structure and punctuation should be used.
• Use appropriate language and style. Profanity or offensive wording will not be tolerated. ALL CAPS and repeated
punctuation (???? or !!!!) should also be avoided.
• Be considerate of others. Do not make derogatory, condescending, or harassing remarks. Communication should be
well-intentioned and well-articulated, and aimed at fostering a positive learning environment. Be aware of how
sarcasm may be misinterpreted by your readers.
