 WHAT IS DLSAU
1 FARM?
Let’s start!
 “
The possibilities are endless when you
have the tools you need to learn

DLSAU FARM, which stands for Flexible
Alternative Remote Modality of learning, is
based on Flexible Learning Modality (FLM), a
learning design perspective that is described in
the International Journal of Technology and
Human Interaction (IGI Global) as being deeply
rooted in the needs of the learners, with the
main objective of providing them with the highest
level of flexibility in the areas of learning content,
schedules, access, and learning styles. FLM
customizes learning environments—using both
technological and non-technological tools—so
that they are able to effectively meet these
needs.”

3 NETIQUETTE GUIDE
FOR Online Class
“If you are on social media, and you are not
learning, not laughing, not being inspired or not
networking, then you are using it wrong.” 10
 Security

⊳ Don't share your password with anyone.

⊳ Change your password if you think someone else might know

it.

⊳ Always log out when you are finished using the system.
 General Guidelines
⊳ Treat your instructor and classmates with respect in email or any other communication.
⊳ Always use your professors’ proper title: Dr. or Prof., or if in doubt use Mr. or Ms.
⊳ Unless specifically invited, don’t refer to your instructor by first name.
⊳ Use clear and concise language.
⊳ Avoid using the caps lock feature AS IT CAN BE INTERPRETTED AS YELLING.
 Email Netiquette
⊳ Use a descriptive subject line.
⊳ Be brief.
⊳ Think before you send the e-mail to more than one person. Does everyone really need to
see your message?
⊳ Be sure you REALLY want everyone to receive your response when you click, “reply all.”
⊳ Be sure that the message author intended for the information to be passed along before
you click the “forward” button.
 Netiquette for MS Teams

⊳ Meetings and calls are better on the desktop app.

⊳ Stay on mute when you’re not talking.
⊳ Mute everyone on the call if background noise is an issue.
⊳ When sharing webpages, zoom in.
⊳ Use chat to help share resources and information during meetings without causing
a distraction.
⊳ Record your meetings for future reference.
