Timely communication is an e-learning best practice. Check your email and the News and Announcements Forum on the course front page daily to make sure you do not miss any communications from your instructor or classmates. Contact the instructor in advance if you are going to miss an assignment or turn in work late. This will give the instructor sufficient time to allow for discussing an alternative schedule.

Communication in the online classroom comes across differently than the communication we are accustomed to through academic writing and face-to-face classroom discussion. Use online etiquette guidelines like the ones listed in the document below to craft your communication.

 Read “The Core Rules of Netiquette” by Virginia Shea (1994) to understand the human aspect of online communication. [LINK TO DOCUMENT]
