A FutureU™ Checklist
Tips for Online Word Choice

---

Excerpted from FutureU's Faculty Web Book.

---

• [  ] Be succinct.
• [  ] Use words to point to your topic.
• [  ] Watch your language—but not so closely that it stalls your progress.
• [  ] Make emotions explicit.
• [  ] Make emphasis explicit.
• [  ] Make your position explicit.
• [  ] Reward your fellow participants.

Keep a Learning Journal for notes about any aspects of online formatting where you think you excel or need more practice. Share your thoughts with your peers. Look back at this checklist from time to time to remind yourself of the guidelines.
