About Blended Learning

Blended learning is the integration of different learning environments: mainlythe online format with the face-to-face format, but may also include mobilelearning. Blended learning, also referred to as hybrid learning, relies on boththe advantages of digital/technology innovation and the methods of face-to-face instruction. At Moser College, we use blended learning by combiningasynchronous online classroom sessions with a face-to-face classroom

environment.

About Netiquette

What is Netiquette?

"Netiquette" stands for "Internet Etiquette", and refers to the set of practices which help to make the onliexperiences pleasant for all involved. As you might expect, netiquette, like other forms of etiquette, is abocourtesy, manners, codes of behavior, protocols and respect. Netiquette primarily focuses on how we interact w

one another online, by being aware of: our use of language, others cultural background, conventional norms, aother behaviors. Below you will find guidelines concerning the basics of online interaction. If it isnt something y

would say or do in the face-to-face classroom, it is probably inappropriate in the online class as well.

te

Netiquette Basics

1. Follow the Golden Rule (One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself)2. Be ethical, fair, tolerant and mindful of others avoid stereotyping, judgment and prejudice3. Know the boundaries of particular cyberspaces what is acceptable in a text or chatroom with friends ma

not be appropriate in a classroom or in an online conversation with an instructor4. Respect the time of others by: 1) using descriptive subject lines, 2) resizing images for the web, 3) providin

links instead of copying and pasting content, 5) using white space by inserting blank lines between paragraphand headers and 6) limiting your use of attachments

5. Copy the minimum number of people it is tempting to send email or message blasts because it is easiefor the poster, but it is not easier for the reader

For more information please reviewNetiquette by Virginia Shea

Inappropriate Online Usage

1. Avoid flaming flaming is sending offensive, insulting or criticizing messages. This happens more ofte

online then in face-to-face interaction, because there is an illusion of anonymity.2. Flaming is neither productive nor appropriate for the learning environment3. Always avoid flaming when it comes to content and opinions, but also avoid it when it comes to gramma

punctuation and spelling corrections4. Avoid using CAPS if possible and never type messages in ALL CAPS this is considered yelling and is ofte

seen as a form of aggression5. Use emoticons ( :) , :( , :-) ) sparingly and avoid the use of JK, BRB, LOL and other text language

Confidentiality and Privacy

1. Email, messaging and posting are forms of written record and are just as permanent as a letter or document2. Do not publicize your own or others personal information (such as email, phone numbers, last names etc.)3. Respect copyright and cite any and all sources4. Do not expect that your communications are private, instead assume all communications are public
