Lesson 1: Basics of Netiquette

Learn the basic behaviours to make the Internet a more comfortable place for you!

Lesson 2: Hate Speech Online

Time to learn more about effective communication without offence. When commenting on someone on the internet, remember that they only see the message; they do not know the tone of your voice.

You will learn the basics of the difference between hate speech and opinion. Constructive criticism will help you to support others and avoid anger and misunderstandings. In case of confusion, at the end, you will find the comparison of hate speech, opinion and constructive criticism.

 

Lesson 3: Communicating with Digital Natives
