Some of the network members might be interested that there is a new mailing list from VETNET now up and running, as Sabine Manning has announced. The email address to announce publications and post questions is:
vetnet [at] listserv [dot] shuttle [dot] de
Further information can be looked up on the list page
www.vetnet-list.wifo-gate.org, including details of the list membership.
Your profile page is one of the main activity areas on the platform. Everytime you are signed in you can access your profile by following the link on top of the starting page.
From you personal page, you can start searching for members from you own countries or with similar interests by clicking on the link at your profile. You can also send members with whom you are friends messages through the platform.
On your profile page you can also set up groups, forums, or events. It is not mandatory to create them in English, we are also happy to host groups and discussion forums in every other language. Events are any kind of events related to the topic of VET trainers e. g. workshop, conferences, professional development courses. You don’t need to be affiliated with a certain event. Instead we kindly ask you to share the information about upcoming events you find interesting.
If you are interested in discussing a topic that is related to the issues adressed in the network, you can set up a group or a discussion forum and invite people to join it. The difference between a discussion forum and a group is simple: The discussion forum is like any other discussion forum you already know from the net, whereas the group enables you to upload documents you want to share with group members. Sometimes it makes sense to create both of it for one topic otherwise your group might be suffering from information overload.
Again, English is not mandatory neither for the forum or the groups. We just ask you to stick to the topic.
Enjoy the platform!
