My Tools for Online Learning

Funny Moment 

I was shocked today when I heard my neighbour telling his son the difference between Email and Gmail. 

He said that Email is when you use Electricity to send mail, while Gmail is when you use Generator to send mail. 

I'm still scratching my head.   

When communicating and collaborating with others online, it is important to follow appropriate online etiquette to avoid, as much as possible, any confusion and ambiguity. This is especially important when using discussion boards and sending emails.  

Because even “the best hunter can lose the hare” we encourage you to open the infographic for email etiquette and the infographic about discussion boards to get a refresher or learn something new.  

In the infographic about email etiquette from the Arizona State University, you will learn: 

1. What is email etiquette?
2. The importance of email etiquette when composing emails 
3. The various components of an email 
4. Using the appropriate tone 
5. Suggestions to consider when writing the email message
6. Additional tips 
7. Examples of well written emails and a confusing “head scratcher” email
