How to establish legal, safe and ethical guidelines for e-learning

Once again, thanks to my learning buddies I have learnt a great way to ensure students are aware of the legal, safe, and ethical guidelines while engaging with ICT's in the classroom. After joining Mark Hodges's Manual Arts Forum, I saw that he had a page set up displaying the netiquette rules of using the sight. This I thought was a very good idea, as just like you would do in the classroom, before learning online takes place the teacher should firstly discuss with the students and establish the rules and responsibilities of using ICTs for learning purposes. By including the students in setting the rules and consequences, it is more likely that they will take them seriously. I have dedicated one page on my Wiki to display these rules as a permanent reminder; as a teacher I would also display them on a wall next to the computers in the classroom.
