Do’s and Don’ts of Digital Interaction
NETIQUETTE…
• Know your audience• Adapt to your
environment• If you are unsure what
your environment calls for, default to
professionalism, courtesy, and academic language.
• Jump into arguments just for the sake of being
heard.• Treat an academic forum
like a personal chat board• Post personal information
about yourself or anyone else online
DO DON’T
RULE #1
• Identify yourself with your username when in a closed digital community
• Example usernames: Laurien, Lavery, Laurien 001
• Provide your full name, especially in an open setting
• Use unprofessional or inappropriate screen names
• Ex: Lovelylips, Cutiebootie, Chazisrad, JackDaniels2015

IDENTITY
• Respect normal rules and standards of interpersonal interactions
• Add to the conversation when appropriate by asking questions, clarifying understanding, or adding comments to other people’s posts
• Disagree respectfully. The internet can be a safe and cordial place to have disagreements because the written word is often more carefully considered than the spoken one
• Allow the internet to become your venting ground or your place to say the things you won’t say in person.
• Reply to posts with off-topic, change-the-subject comments.
• Disagree disrespectfully. Written text has no tone of voice, which can lead to misunderstandings that fan the flames of temper.

INTERACTIONS
• Provide enough information to be understood
• Provide research to support your opinions when appropriate
• Allow yourself to take a casual tone when it is appropriate, as in an online chat or sometimes in responses on a message board
• Stay relevant!
• Ramble, or provide more information than necessary.
• Make outlandish assertions you can’s support with evidence
• Use slang, inappropriate language, letters to represent words (ex: u going 2 the store?)
• Post irrelevant links or comments.
