2. Being a Digital citizen
You may have heard different industries talk about being good corporate citizens. According to Scott Stepenson, being a good corporate citizen means being guided by "strong moral and ethical standards in daily interactions". In the same way, being an eProfessional means being a good digital citizen and being able to relate effectively to the digital world of people, technologies and systems. Your online presence reflects your professional image.
