behavior online that you follow in real

What you text to a friend may not be appropriate in
an email to a classmate or colleague.
Rule 4: Respect other people's time and
bandwidth

spent reading your
words isn't wasted. Make your written
communication meaningful and to the point,
without extraneous text or superfluous graphics or
attachments that may take
forever to download

clearly

references for your subject matter.
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under
control

express a strongly held opinion without
holding back any emotion.“
flame wars," when two or three people
exchange angry posts between one another,
must be controlled, or the camaraderie of
the group could be compromised.

Just as you expect others to respect your
privacy, so you should respect the privacy of
others.

Knowing more than others do or having
more power than others may have does not
give you the right to take advantage of
anyone.

people's mistakes

as you would hope someone
would
do if you had committed the same
offense.

life, primarily online.
