Online Etiquette
Students are reminded that any LeTourneau Blackboard user is a representative of the university. Accordingly, all Blackboard users are expected to abide by standards of online network etiquette, which will be an ongoing part of the academic program. These standards include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Courtesy. Be polite and use appropriate language. Blackboard users may not send, or encourage others to send, discourteous or abusive messages. Remember that humor and satire are subject to misinterpretation!
- Use of appropriate language. Vulgarity, obscenity, and other language which might be offensive to others are strictly prohibited.
- Being considerate. Online Blackboard users should be mindful of their responsibility to avoid practices which may disrupt other users’ educational experience. This includes posts to instructors and students in the discussion board.
- Privacy. Do not reveal your personal login or those of students or colleagues. Keep your account password private and log off the network after each use.
- Responsibility. Take responsibility for all activity involving your account and respect copyright laws.
