7.5 Behaviour

Netiquette

We have produced a guide on netiquette, a portmanteau word (net etiquette) that describes common courtesy rules for engaging with others online. You are welcome to copy and/or download it and add to your course/ add to your general book. In sum, be online what you are face to face:

  • Be nice.

Zoom behaviour

Do not force your students to have their camera on - Zoom fatigue is a real thing and not everybody is comfortable showing themselves, their families or their home to others. We have practical guides on how to use Zoom in combination with Moodle.

  • Smile (smile)

  • Don’t force cameras - though you can ask politely, especially in breakout rooms

  • Remind students/ participants that (if) you are recording sessions and why.

  • Consider occasionally asking for everybody to swich off the camera, perhaps for a short break, or a quiet reflection phase.

Language

  • Avoid punitive language (eg talk about academic integrity, rather than plagiarism; limit uses of “you must” in instructions, consider replacing with “please do”);

  • Remember your - very international LSE - audience, clarity is paramount!

  • Give constructive and critical feedback, especially in Forums.
