Netiquette

Content

There is no escaping we exist in many different spheres and places and online has become one of them. This learning playlist has been developed to offer some reflection and guidance when considering the rules, safety and etiquette online. The main aim is to raise awareness, and to support you in identifying ways in which you can protect yourself and others while online, and a starting point for participating safely and in being authentic. The main thing to remember is that there is no difference between engaging and sharing in real-time and face to face online. The same rules apply; be respectful, know what you are sharing, where you are sharing, who you are sharing with, the source of your influence and be you. Never do or say online what you would not do or say offline, and remember once it is there, it is always there.

Content

Once something goes on the internet, it's often there forever - even if you delete it - and anyone can find it, sometimes just by searching for your name. And, just because something is only online, it doesn’t mean it can’t affect you in the offline world. With this in mind, we challenge you to really reflect on whether you’re making the best first impression to someone who may never even have met you.
