E-LEARNING ONLINE ETIQUETTE
The effective use of eLearning requires all users to observe some dos and don’ts. Below are guidelines s on how to behave while online:
Logging in: Always Log into your KEMI Virtual Campus account using your user name and password.
Logging out: If using a shared computing device such from a or a cyber café, ensure that you have logged out at the end of each session.
Your online profile: this should be a picture of the user and should look professional.
Don’t Assume Privacy: anything posted on the eLearning platform can be read by others. Only post what you are expected to post and do not reveal unnecessary personal information.
Avoid Offensive Comments: avoid offensive comments in your online communication especially on the discussion forums.
DON’T Abuse chat forums and email to communicate: While you need to be assertive in expressing your needs, opinions and ideas in class discussions, don’t go overboard!
Sending too many emails to your instructors or classmates can be overwhelming. Treat email like you’re having an in-person, back-and-forth conversation.
Be respectful and responsive: With online communication, it’s important to understand people might misconstrue what you said, no matter how carefully you composed it.
Be aware of how you use class discussion boards, whether to ask a question to the group or make a point about a learning topic
Don’t Shout: Remember that when you type in all capitals, your communication comes across as shouting.
Also Read:
Some people think it makes their message easier to read, but that isn’t the case. Use a font size and style that is easy on the eyes when read in standard case letters
We wish you all the best as you undertake this course. Contact your coordinator if you encounter any challenges in the use of the e-Learning platform.
