Be polite. Avoid using offensive language. Avoid sending or posting flames, which are abusive or insulting messages. Do not participate in flame wars, which are exchanges of flames. Do not use all capital letters, which is the equivalent of SHOUTING! Use limited abbreviations and acronyms; lol, btw, fyi, and imho. The objective in an online discussion is to be collaborative, not combative. Please, proofread your responses carefully before you post them to make sure that they will not be offensive to others. Use discussions to develop your skills in collaboration and teamwork. Treat the discussion areas as a creative environment where you and your classmates can ask questions, express opinions, revise opinions, and take positions just as you would in a more “traditional” classroom setting.
