CLASS POLICIES

AlAll users must maintain an air of decorum in their interactions within AnimoSpace. This includes:
1. Academic Integrity. All users attest that all content, resources and work submitted or posted are original
and that any words, ideas, or data from others will be properly attributed to their sources.
2. Content Standards. All users may not post and share in AnimoSpace content that may: a. Create a risk of
harm, loss, or mental/emotional injury to any other person b. Defamatory, libellous or threatening or that
constitutes hate speech c. Contains any information that you do not have a right to make available and
violates anyone’s right of privacy
3. Profile pictures. When creating personal profiles, all users may not create profiles containing demeaning
or derogatory language nor images deemed as vulgar or otherwise offensive. Users may report offensive
profiles to the appropriate university body.
4. Data Privacy. All users who have access to student information in the AnimoSpace are required to adhere
to the safeguards included in the RA10173 otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Refer to
DLSU Website Privacy Policy) For Teachers and Students
5. Be Forgiving. Do not assume your students (and your teachers) are all equally comfortable with and have
equal access to technology. Expect an adjustment time to familiarize with how to go about online
learning activities.
6. Student Workload. Remember that one (1) unit of each lecture class shall constitute a total workload of
2.5 hours per week, for a total of 35 hours per trimester. Thus, the student workload in a three (3) unit
lecture course is 7.5 hours a week, for a total of 105 hours in a trimester. The total workload includes
the time for classes, alternative activities, exams, projects, homework, reading assignments, and other
class activities.
7. Communication Plan. Establish communication channels with members of the class: AnimoSpace have
announcements, inbox messaging, discussions, chat and conferences tools. Keep current office/school
hours. Set additional meetings by request as necessary.
8. Online Submissions. All online tasks and outputs shall be submitted within AnimoSpace and not to the
faculty email.
9. Netiquettes. Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life, such as:
a. Treating other users with respect. Remember that you are talking with human beings behind the screen

 Judicious use of humor is acceptable in certain situations but our synchronous and asynchronous
sessions are not the venue for jokes, quips, or remarks which could be offensive or rude to the
participants.
 Always mind your spelling and grammar when typing your comments in discussion boards and
chat groups. Proper writing style is always preferred over informal, shortened textspeak.
 Never share or post inappropriate, unverified, and other questionable materials from a nefarious
source. Offensive avatars to identify a visual classroom participant are also discouraged.
 Presenting teams are reminded that a well-modulated voice, access to appropriate equipment

 and wifi, flawless visual aids, and adequate preparation will typically result in an online
presentation of stellar quality.
 Appropriate attire is expected from all visual classroom participants when the video or camera
needs to be switched on (e.g. short reports, final project presentations) during synchronous
sessions. However, enabling the camera from their devices is optional for all students. For
faculties in-charge, switching their cameras on during synchronous sessions is encouraged so
that their presence is enhanced and their lecture’s impact amplified.
