Group forums
Welcome to the group-forums section. You can find the index of the forums below.
- What: Forums are devoted to community questions and discussions (by the community for the community).
- Purpose: Forums belong to community members as a collective so as to learn from experience or how community members, for instance, got certain things done. While, as the course facilitator/supervisor, I take part in the forums, forums are not my formal way of conveying information.
- Vision: My hope for this section is that over time forums will create a communally derived knowledge base that covers a great scope of questions, more so than I am able to answer or have sufficient time to.
- Terminology: 1. category forums 2. general forums (a sub-level of the category) 3. discussion or topics (which are created within forums ‘2’)
- Community members cannot create forum-sections, only topics (ie, ‘discussions’).
- If you somehow do see the need for an entire different forum heading, suggest it to me.
- Community members can/should ask questions by creating discussions/topics within forums.
- When submitting topics, being specific helps. If it is a statement, short and provocative is good. Particularly around administrative matters ask specific questions. Aim for brevity in the topic title-question. Elaborate below the topic.
- One question per topic
- While participating, remain on-topic and help others remain on-topic.
- Replies should be short [leave the lecturing to me ;)].Reply more, not in longer sections.
- Be helpful and show participants where in the forum (or the website or my blogging/ post section) they can get the necessary information.
- Only register new topics or discussions if it does not already exist (but do note, you’re welcome).
- When you go out to look for information be sure to come back and share your ‘know-how’ with the community.

Specific topics
The category 'areas of research' is the home for forums in which specific topics or themes (questions, suggestions, discussions, as it is related to your research project) are addressed. This is not for methodology related subject matter but indeed the concepts or ideas that your research cover: eg., high performance teams; spirituality in the workplace, or the project office are examples.
