Be respectful: When sitting behind a keyboard, it’s easy to forget that the messages you type are being read and received by another individual.
Many an online argument has started because of a sarcastic statement that was misinterpreted, so it’s best to avoid writing these messages.
Avoid sarcasm: Although a statement might seem funny to you, the reality is that written sarcasm can be extremely difficult to detect. Many of these conventions are acceptable in other forms of digital communication, but the online classroom is still an academic community and should be treated as such. Whenever possible, avoid writing in all caps using text speak, slang, or curse words or including emojis or emoticons in your messages. Follow standard communication rules: There are a number of conventions that are offensive or inappropriate in online communication, and the classroom is no exception. Although what is included in a netiquette statement isn’t always up to the individual instructor, there are a few guiding principles that can be employed to ensure civility: Due to the physical separation of participants in an online classroom as well as the varying experience of individuals in this environment, there are behaviors that can occur that lessen the likelihood of a healthy online learning community developing. Netiquette, short for network or internet etiquette, is a set of social conventions that define what is and is not appropriate behavior in the online environment. 
Although this will look different from school to school or classroom to classroom, the foundation of this is built on a carefully crafted netiquette statement. By doing so, the classroom environment becomes open to respectful discourse and conducive to learning and collaboration in a way that encourages all students, regardless of background or opinion, to share and develop as a community of learners. In the online classroom, it’s important that instructors set and enforce parameters around what is and is not appropriate behavior.
