As technology develops, students enjoy a variety of methods to communicate with other people. Some students, however, may hurt others if they can express their ideas anonymously or do not know how to communicate with others on online. Once students get into a college, they will have a lot of opportunity to interact with peers on a website; therefore, learning how to develop positive online relationships with other students is very important.

According to E-Learning Companion, taking a few minutes to check the spelling and grammar or personalize emails before the student email to peers will help them make the right first impression. The book also suggests the student not to use all capitalized words because it sounds like shouting to peers.

The book, E-Learning Companion, also tells the student how to behave professionally in college online courses. For example, the student need to offer and accept constructive peer feedback and keep information shared by peers confidential.

For the last three years of my college life, I barely had a chance to interact with peers on online real-time chats. Even though I personally did not have a chance, it might be good for incoming college students to know how to effectively communicate with peers or professors. Out of many different E-Learning Companion’s suggestions, important advices are to prepare a list of questions and to arrive to the chat area at least five minutes before.

If the student follow above suggestions, they will give a good impression to both professors and peers.
