Netiquette

                                                             

                  

 

The term "netiquette" comes from the words, "Network" and "etiquette."  

This refers to practicing good communication skills online.  At North Seattle College, we have a rich and diverse student body. It is important for online communication to maintain a respectful  online voice at all times.

In order to prevent misunderstandings and promote engaging, meaningful collaboration and learning, care must be taken into how you communicate online. Classes will be composed of native and non-native English speakers, different cultures which bring a different point of cultural reference, understanding of humor and expectations of learning. This diversity enriches our courses and asks that we recognize our part in communicating responsibly.

Because North Seattle College values respect and diversity, we have provided a few pages that offer tips and guidelines for communicating and engaging in the online environment.
