Netiquette
Most courses do not have a forum open. Should I leave a forum open any message posted will be submitted after a 30 minute delay in case the sender wishes to alter the message.
Courses might not be restricted to selected groups/schools. It would therefore be wise not to give away any confidential information.
I cannot imagine that we will get into heated debates discussing Folk Fiddle music but it would be as well to remember:
The points above will evolve as time progresses and we all learn on the job.

I cannot imagine that we will get into heated debates discussing Folk Fiddle music but it would be as well to remember:
1) Always assume best intent on the part of the other person.
2) Do not write in capitals as this makes the message appear very angry.
3) Likewise I would avoid the use of red text.
4) Remember that words written without the other person being able to see your facial expression always come out stronger in the written form than if they were spoken. It is always best to tone things down.
5) If you upset someone, even unintentionally, then please be quick to apologise. I always feel online that the perception of the receiver is more important than the perception of the sender and find
quite useful in case of such events.
6) Please be aware that anyone from anywhere and any culture could be online. Ages could be Year 2 to Year 13.
7) As a last resort each teacher on Moodle does have a facility to delete messages when they next log in. I hope however that this action will never need to be taken.
8) If you have any issues with the running of the site then please remember that, although experienced at operating in online learning environments, my Moodle skills are learnt as and when so please be patient if anything needs to be sorted. Because I am out and about earning my living on the violin, response to problems you encounter might not be quite as immediate as you might like due to my work not involving being near a computer during the working day. It is also worth remembering that because I am a violinist and not an ICT technician, if you have problems with your own computer set up at home you are welcome to ask but my knowledge is limited about other machines.
