In this module, I learned the importance of effective online communication and the role that netiquette plays in creating a positive and respectful virtual learning environment. I gained a better understanding of how to communicate clearly, respectfully, and professionally in online discussions, emails, and group work.
One key takeaway for me was how a well-defined communication code of conduct helps set expectations and reduces misunderstandings. I also learned about the importance of tone, clarity, and empathy when engaging with peers and instructors in digital spaces.
I intend to apply what I’ve learned by being more mindful of my tone and word choice in online discussions and making sure to contribute in a constructive and respectful way. Whether I’m participating in group projects or sending messages to instructors, I now understand how crucial it is to maintain professionalism and courtesy.
