  • Brevity is appreciated. Since reading other's comments or articles can be very time consuming, try to be straight to the point, although respect that this is an academic class. Too little is just as troublesome as too much!
  • give a frame of reference in your post by quoting or summarizing the content to which you are responding
  • The me-too post certainly is a frustration in the online environment and does not add any depth to the discussion or learning.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • be sure to post substantive ideas and avoid the "I agree" posts which just clutter up a discussion board.
  • Subject lines that just repeat the original poster’s subject line with the Re: added (Re: Re: Re: Unoriginal subject line) give no indication to the reader if the new or added content will benefit him or her as a learner
  • Each time you post or reply to a post, update the subject line to match the content of your posting.
  • Make sure you are posting under the appropriate heading or thread.
  • The Discussion Board is part of a college course, so your writing style should conform to the rules of standard English.

    What do you think of these principles as writing guidelines for forums and blogs?

    I thought this would be something that people might want to check out given our class discussion on RefWorks. Zotero is a free, open-source piece of software much like RefWorks except that you can still access it after you leave TRU. It is geared much more towards science students and allows you to customize your references to the exact style of referencing seen in a specific journal (e.g. Animal Behaviour). There are tons of tools to explore on the site. Hope this helps!
