In using this site, you agree to adhere to the Web Accessibility Policy and the Code of Conduct, and to follow and uphold the guidelines below:
- Be nice: “Nice” includes supporting your fellow members, amplifying your peers’ voices, and assuming value in others’ opinions. “Not nice” includes personal attacks, abusive or offensive language, including profanity or sexually exploitative language insults, threats, and other things that would be considered “not nice.” Don’t use racist, ableist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory language.
- Be respectful: The Geneseo OpenLab platform aims to cultivate, encourage, and support authentic learning for all members. It’s important that our members recognize this goal, and help promote it via respectful interactions. This includes respecting other members’ beliefs, culture, privacy, and other natural rights.
- Assume good intentions: Because this platform is a place for learning, it’s to be expected that there will be some difficult conversations at times, and discussions of sensitive topics. While it is essential that these types of dialogs adhere to our other Community Guidelines, we also ask that members who engage also allow their peers the opportunity to correct themselves if they come across in an offensive manner. Please allow your peers the benefit of the doubt, and start by assuming good intentions.
- Report, don’t feed, inflammatory posts.
Reporting: Contact your instructor or an administrator by direct message to report a violation of these guidelines.
Consequences: Violating these guidelines might mean a warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent ban at the discretion of the administrators.
