Dignity and respect in the online learning environment: share and join the campaign
In our student days, the way we treat each other can affect our own enjoyment and sense of safety and that of others. It can also have an effect on study results.
During your studies, you will use a variety of online environments such as WhatsApp groups for your study programme or association, Kaltura, Brightspace and MS Teams. These form part of your learning environment. Be aware that your behaviour in these environments can also affect others. Make sure to participate in a manner that is both constructive and appropriate for an academic learning environment. Together we can contribute to a pleasant and safe learning environment for everyone at Leiden University.
Do!
To draw attention to this, a campaign has been developed in consultation with student representatives. The campaign includes a number of Do’s to get students and staff thinking about their behaviour in online study environments. The Do’s aren’t that complicated, but you may not have given them much thought in your private online environments.
Share the Do’s and illustrations in your online environments
Or are you the admin of a WhatsApp group for your study programme, or do you moderate a chat group or Teams environment? Join in and download the toolkit. You’ll find the Do’s, various illustrations and a deck of PowerPoint slides. Share these with your fellow students and in your online environment. Thank you for helping create an online learning environment where we treat each other with dignity and respect.
