Answer Key

Online protocol

Section A: Quick Questions

A — Everyone agrees to use kind words and stay on topic

A — An agreed way of behaving that everyone follows

B — Only edit your own section and use comments to suggest changes

A — If only some people follow it, the group is not safe or fair

B — Use kind and respectful words

Section B: Match the Pairs

protocol → An agreed rule or way of behaving that everyone follows so sharing and working online stays safe and respectful

Class chat protocol: be kind, stay on topic → A set of agreed rules everyone follows when talking in the class chat

A protocol for a shared document says everyone must write their name on the changes they make → Doc protocol: add your name to every edit

A protocol only works when everyone agrees to follow it → Protocol: all students agree, then follow it

Chat protocol: I make my own rules and ignore the class ones → A protocol is agreed by everyone. One person ignoring the class rules and making their own breaks the protocol.

Doc protocol: only the teacher agrees, students just follow → A protocol needs everyone to agree, not only one person. Students should help decide the rules.

Section C: Definitions

protocol — An agreed rule or way of behaving that everyone follows so sharing and working online stays safe and respectful, like rules for a class chat or a shared document.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

protocol ← "Be kind in the class chat"

IF message = "kind" THEN
  SEND message to class chat
ENDIF

agreed ← TRUE
IF agreed = TRUE THEN
  EDIT document

votes ← 24
classSize ← 24
IF votes = classSize THEN SET protocol

IF part = "not mine" THEN
  ASK owner
ENDIF

Section E: Spot the Error

D — A FOR EACH loop must be closed with END FOR, not END IF. This loop shows every rule in the class chat protocol.

B — The protocol says students join only after they have agreed. The test should be agreed = TRUE, otherwise people who have not agreed get in.

B — Quotes make docRule print as the plain word docRule. Without quotes, DISPLAY docRule shows the rule stored in the variable.

D — The word yes is text, so it needs quotes: "yes". Without quotes the computer looks for a variable called yes, which does not exist.

C — A + is missing between ": " and text. It should be DISPLAY user + ": " + text so the chat message joins together.
