    Introduce yourself.
    The welcome activity will help you get to know everyone and help create a positive environment.

    Ask questions.
    If you find something confusing or want to know more, do not hesitate to ask questions. Make sure to post your questions in the appropriate thread.

    Participate.
    Do not hide in the background; it is not fair to lurk and let others do all the work. Contribute to discussions to get as much as possible from the forum

    Do not dominate a discussion.
    Share your knowledge, but not to the point of excluding others. If you have something to offer, please share it, but allow everyone to contribute equally to a discussion.

    Be intellectually rigorous.
    Do not excuse sloppy or illogical thinking. Challenge yourself and one another.

    Be tactful.
    Be critical of ideas, but remember there are other people involved. Be tactful and kind. You can hurt the feelings of a person reading your post.

    Forgive others mistakes.
    Do not correct others, even if you follow the rules of netiquette and use good manners. Just because you do not agree with another post does not mean that he or she is wrong. Instead, offer a different perspective to encourage further discussion.

    Read the whole thread before posting.
    Read all the posts in a thread before responding so you don’t repeat what others have already said. Try to contribute clarifying information or a new idea to a discussion.

    Be concise.
    Do not waste people’s time by posting basic, repetitive information. Make your point clearly and quickly.

    Reread and check your posts.
    Practice professionalism. Be mindful of how you look online; others will likely judge the tone and quality of your writing. Reread your posts and edit for clarity and mechanics.

    Report technical problems.
    If the platform is not working properly, please let me know as soon as possible.
