Posting on a discussion forum<br />

<strong>The</strong> discussion area is a key resource for our community. As a member of our group you<br />

will have the ability to both take part in an existing discussion and start a new discussion<br />

topic: however, only administrators can add a new discussion area. <strong>The</strong> discussions<br />

section of our website is organised in layers; within each discussion area are specific<br />

discussion topics and within these is a comments section where community members can<br />

contribute.<br />

To participate in an existing discussion;<br />

• From the “Discussion area” widget click on the title of a discussion you would<br />

like to contribute to.<br />

• On the following page, choose the topic that you would like to contribute to.<br />

• Within this topic click on “Add a comment” and add your contribution.<br />

<strong>Community</strong> members can also add resources to their comments. <strong>The</strong>se could come from<br />

the <strong>Knowledge</strong> <strong>Network</strong> itself, our existing <strong>Community</strong> Resource library, uploaded from<br />

your own PC or added as a URL.<br />

To create a new discussion topic;<br />

• Choose the discussion area within which you feel your new topic would best fit.<br />

• Create your discussion topic using the “create discussion” widget.<br />

• Enter a title and a description for the new topic and click “create”<br />

If you have a suggestion for a new discussion area, please contact a member of the<br />

community administrative team.<br />
