“…The latter circumstance is important not only for electronic conferences, but also for teaching in asynchronous mode. Working in an "electronic classroom" creates new forms of indifference, tactlessness, demeaning, and ethical documents should draw the attention of teachers and students to them (see Flynn, 2020;Hopkins et al, 2017). Secondly, it is the consolidation of the normative basis for collective work on the creation and maintenance of massive online courses.…”

The article analyzes those aspects of the university digitalization process that create difficulties for the implementation of its complex mission. Among them are a decrease in the influence of the teacher's personality on the emerging researcher or professional practitioner, the loss of creative and critical components from the learning process at the university, the erosion of the academic freedom of the university teacher, the fragmentation and hierarchization of the academic community, the tendency towards the division of universities into universities of the first and second "varieties" with the subsequent "ossification" of this division. The author of the article believes that none of the listed difficulties is fatal, although each of them should be the subject of attention of the developers of a morally grounded educational policy of the state and active "academic citizens" within the universities themselves. According to the author of the article, in the process of properly oriented and controlled by the academic community, digitalization of the university will significantly change some of the professional and ethical practices of its employees and the body of its ethical documents: declarations, codes, codes of practice, etc. These changes will affect the requirements for communication between the teacher and students in the "online classroom", the rules of collective work on the creation of massive online courses, new forms of ensuring respect for diversity, the use of educational analytics and electronic systems to maintain academic integrity.

“…Online communication has become more predominant in academia as the COVID-19 pandemic shifted most nursing education programs to the online platform (Kim et al, 2020;Oducado, 2020;Oducado & Soriano, 2021). However, the environment in the online setting can present several challenges (Hopkins et al, 2017). Even before the pandemic, it had already been reported that nursing students used online platforms for educational purposes (Duke et al, 2017;.…”

Introduction: The pandemic rapidly shifted nursing education to the online platform, and cybercommunication may expose students to the risk of online uncivil behaviors. Understanding cyberincivility in the primary mode of education during the pandemic is necessary. This study determined the cyberincivility knowledge, experience, and perception of acceptability among nursing students in the Philippines. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was employed with 300 Filipino nursing students of a public university who participated in the survey conducted last June 2021 using the Academic Cyberincivility Assessment Questionnaire. Data were described, and statistical differences and relationships were tested using ANOVA, t-Test, and Pearson correlation. Results: Findings indicated that nursing students generally had high knowledge (M=11.53), low experience (M=1.67), and low acceptability (M=1.41) of online uncivil behaviors. Academic cyberincivility knowledge, experiences, and acceptability did not significantly vary (p>0.05) based on sex, year level, and duration of daily internet usage. There was a significant positive moderate correlation (r=.402, p=.000) between cyberincivility experience and acceptability. Conclusions: Nursing schools should continuously strive to avoid the risk of uncivil cyberspace behaviors and promote an online culture of civility in online learning spaces.

The medium is the message: toxicity declines in structured vs unstructured online deliberations

Humanity needs to deliberate effectively at scale about highly complex and contentious problems. Current online deliberation tools—such as email, chatrooms, and forums—are however plagued by levels of discussion toxicity that deeply undercut the willingness and ability of the participants to engage in thoughtful, meaningful, deliberations. This has led many organizations to either shut down their forums or invest in expensive, frequently unreliable, and ethically fraught moderation of people's contributions in their forums. This paper includes a comprehensive review on online toxicity, and describes how a structured deliberation process can substantially reduce toxicity compared to current approaches. The key underlying insight is that unstructured conversations create, especially at scale, an “attention wars” dynamic wherein people are often incented to resort to extremified language in order to get visibility for their postings. A structured deliberation process wherein people collaboratively create a compact organized collection of answers and arguments removes this underlying incentive, and results, in our evaluation, in a 50% reduction of high-toxicity posts.
