I enjoyed this module as I thought there was much practical information.
In section 1 an Academic Honesty policy was provided. This is the example:
Examples of policy statements include:
- Each student must do his/her own work and submit it electronically
- Each student must use technology for appropriate uses only
- Students may not collaborate with peers unless the instructor specifically states this may be done
- Students may not submit other students' work
- Students may not plagiarize
- Students may not use copyrighted material
Consequences for students may include, but are not limited to:
- Earn a zero on the assignment, project, etc.
- Fail the course
- Be required to provide a research paper on cheating or unethical behavior and/or letter of apology
- Be placed on probation
- Be suspended
- Be expelled
In section 2 a sample paragraph, to be included in the syllabus, was provided to help establish the communication guidelines. Yhis is the paragraph:
"Communication in this course will be conducted through email and the online discussion board. If you have specific questions pertaining to the course, assignments, projects, etc., post those questions on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) discussion board. Anyone may answer the FAQs and bonus points may be earned for complete, correct answers. Use email if you have a personal question that should not be posted on the discussion board. Questions posted to the discussion board and sent via email will be responded to within 24 hours."
