Because of the limitations of communicating in a purely text based environment, more care and attention is needed when composing mail messages than in face to
face conversation.
Look at Gary Alexander's advice on Netiquette at http://sustainability.open.ac.uk/gary/netique.htm . It is taken from the guidance given to the Open University's online tutors, and explains the following widely accepted principles of good practice for communicating online:
- thank, acknowledge and support people freely
- acknowledge before differing
- speak from your own perspective
Read the Netiquette article and then, thinking about the work we've done today, generate one more principle for good practice. Post it in reply to this message.
