The University of Victoria is committed to promoting critical academic discourse while providing a respectful and supportive learning environment. All members of the university community are expected to adhere to guidelines for online conduct<\/a>. To report concerns about online student conduct: onlineconduct@uvic.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

Online learning in Zoom, as well as other tools, depends on building relationships, community and a degree of trust between participants. Student use of Zoom is also governed by\u00a0UVic\u2019s IM7200 policy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you find yourself in the waiting room after joining a session, sign in at the bottom of the page to enter your session.<\/p>\n

If you are sharing video, look at the camera and not the session. It may feel weird but it shows you are engaged in the session.<\/p>\n

Consider the following guidelines when engaging in online learning<\/span>
(adapted from Virginia Shea\u2019s book,\u00a0Netiquette<\/a>)<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Keep it UVic appropriate” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”21px” body_font_size=”17px” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|10px|0px|10px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

The way you communicate online should be appropriate for a UVic classroom. Be professional in your communication and participation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Remember the human” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”21px” body_font_size=”17px” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|10px|0px|10px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Remind yourself often, there is a human being behind the screen. If you would not say it in-person, do not say it online.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Respect differences” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h2″ header_font_size=”21px” body_font_size=”17px” custom_margin=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding=”|10px|0px|10px|false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Do not expect all people to be the same. Respect differences and always respond with courtesy and respect.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When participating, posting in the chat, or sharing content, keep on task and relevant to the situation. Give all participants the space to participate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Information posted on the internet has some permanency. Treat class conversations with some confidentiality. Do not share information about others without their consent.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UVic community members are expected to contribute to a safe and respectful learning environment. Codes of conduct still apply online \u2013 including policies around harassment, bullying, copyright regulations, and privacy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you feel that online behaviour has become disrespectful or confrontational, let your instructor know right away. Address issues sooner rather than later\u00a0so that the right resources can be called upon to help.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
