How to use the CMS e-Lab Users Group

Welcome to the CMS e-Lab Users Group! Now that summer is over we can start to make use of this space to help us with the CMS e-Lab.

The structure of this group is like a blog, so first-off you can post documents or posts and they will, blog-like, appear in the main group page, in  reverse chronological order (most recent first). To add something in this fashion:

1. Go to the group homepage.
2. At the top of the right menu bar you'll see the drop-down that starts with Document; next to that is the Create button. First choose either Document or Post from the menu and the choose Create.
3. You will get a Create Document page; a Title and type into the Body as you would in a word processor. (There is a way to directly use html instead - ask me about it sometime.) It may be a little glitchy - be patient and flexible.
4. Choose Save at the bottom.

You can also comment on a document or post if you are logged in and you are encuraged to do so. We should be talking with each other. (See below.)

There will be some articles or pages to which we will keep returning. For example, we will start an FAQ. These will go into the menu on the right sidebar.

Here are a few good things to do right off:

• Send questions via Comments or your own posts.
• Create posts about what you or your students are doing with the CMS e-Lab. Share news, successes, ideas, etc. 
• Bookmark and check this Group for news on a regular basis.

Let's keep this Users Group active so we can help each other!
