Instructions for participants of the e-course “Artificial Intelligence in Education”

To enhance the quality of our collaboration, we have defined a set of rules for behaviour in this course.

Treat other participants as if they were in the same room with you. Foster a culture of respect and constructive dialogue in your communication. Remember, there is a real person behind every username – kindness and empathy are essential for a positive learning environment.

Use professional and clear language. Write grammatically correct, avoid using capital letters (which can be interpreted as shouting) and express your thoughts clearly. Inappropriate or offensive messages are not acceptable.

Stay on topic and be concise. Your comments, replies and messages should relate to the topic and be structured so that they are understandable to others. You help both yourself and your colleagues when you communicate clearly and stay focused.

Participate actively and in a timely manner. Your engagement contributes to the quality of shared learning. Check notifications regularly, respond to assignments by the given deadlines and engage in discussions.

Protect privacy and confidentiality. Do not share personal information about other participants without their explicit consent. Be cautious when sharing your own information in public areas of the course.

Do not post promotional content or spam. The course is not a place for advertising, sending chain letters or political messages. The focus should remain on course content and mutual learning.

Express disagreement constructively. Direct criticism toward the content or idea, not the person. If you disagree, present your opinion respectfully and acknowledge different points of view.

Communicate through appropriate channels. For technical and organisational issues, use the designated forums or contact e-course mentors through official channels. Informal communication is welcome in designated areas, while respecting basic rules of decency.

Prepare to participate in virtual meetings. If the course includes video meetings, it is recommended to use a camera when possible, stay in a quiet environment and join only when you have a comment or question. Respect others' time and do not disrupt the flow of work.

Act in accordance with ethical and legal standards. Respect copyright, institutional regulations and applicable laws. Unauthorised use of content, plagiarism or sharing confidential information is not permitted.
