Netiquette: Welcome!

Welcome to Digital Citizenship! 🌐

You’ve spent your whole life online, but almost no one has ever taught you how to do it well. This course does. Netiquette isn’t a list of stuffy rules — it’s the practical judgment to communicate clearly, protect your reputation, treat people decently, and keep your head in a digital world designed to grab your attention and never let go.

What You’ll Learn

Citizens of a Connected World

What netiquette really means now, why your digital footprint is permanent, and how context collapse can turn one post into a problem.

Communicating Online

Master tone, register, and disagreement across DMs, group chats, email, and comments — where words alone carry all the meaning.

Identity & Reputation

Manage your online identity and footprint on purpose, before colleges, employers, and algorithms do it for you.

Harm Online

Recognize harassment, misinformation, and deepfakes — and learn to respond as an upstander, not a bystander.

AI & the Future

Use generative AI honestly, spot synthetic content, and protect your attention and well-being in the attention economy.
