It is critical to be respectful of the views of other participants, recognising that we all have different knowledge that can support the group.
It is also important to be prepared - the online discussion relies on the input of each participant. So do your work in order to make a full contribution as required during forum. This recognises and values the time of each of your peers.  Amory

As others have mentioned, respectful communication and dialogue are so important to having a healthy online learning community.

This is a new way of learning and collaborating for me, but I'm confident we'll all have really valuable things to contribute to the conversation. The number one thing I always emphasize to my students is that their opinions are just as important as mine. I look forward to learning from all of the course participants as we work through the curriculum!

It is important that all participants commit to: being actively engaged in the learning process, to giving of their time and energy and to delivering on  expectations, those in the course and those of your peers.

As in instructor, I need to be even more reliable and dependable than I am in person.  Because my interaction is limited to an online presence, I need to try that much harder to be considered reliable by my students.  Also, note it isn't enough to be consistent - I must also be viewed as consistent by my students.

Students, similarly, need to be dependable. If this is a true distance situation, my only interaction will be online, and students suddenly disappearing would be bad. If a critical mass of students acted that way, it could harm the learning environment.

I like what I have been reading about dialogue, collaboration, and respect, I think these are really important points. To add something new, I also think that part of this has to be regularly checking and contributing to the online community. I find it easy to wait too long and fall out of touch.

I support every suggestion posted so far and would like to add that it is up to all of us to make space for our leaning. Posting and responding thoughtfully but also in a manner that creates space for additional discovery. - Erica

I should have trust in others, giving me useful feedback for my own benefit, whether this is positive or a negative one. Respecting others means focusing on areas of strength and growth rather than blunt negative comments. We are all here to learn so lets enjoy it! Hagar Labouta

I love this saying by great Einstein
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
― Albert Einstein
And that "change" can be brought about by keeping the mind open to ideas and thoughts.

In my opinion learning can not go one sided it has to be collaborative. So its not only student learns during the teaching process but teachers can also learns many things from a student. So an important component of an effective teaching methodology is collaboration.

Successful learning includes a collaborative approach. Instructor and students can learn from each other. We don’t need to have the same ideas, but we can disagree respectfully. Moreover, sharing knowledge as a group fosters a better learning process. Claudia

To build an effective online community it is important to learn about the participants. Participants can come from a diverse academic background so for this reason it is important to reflect on the experiences, and limitations, someone can enter with. By reflecting and trying to address these concerns we can create an integrated, and more efficient, online community.

I think it is important to keep open our doors to the experience and thoughts from others

I think along with Fabian's suggestion of respect and kindness, we should also try to achieve a healthy dialogue so that we can learn from each other's experiences and different skills. Without (semi/regular) dialogue we are just names on a screen, and not a community. Karmpaul.
