Discussion List

What is an Email Discussion List?
An Email Discussion List is an automated email distribution system. People join (or subscribe to) a list and can send messages to it and receive messages posted by others. Lists are popular because they operate very simply through any email program. You can use a discussion list to participate in discussions on topics of interest and share resources and ideas with others and keep abreast of emerging trends and issues.

Teachers will be automatically subscribed to the Connecting the Continent email discussion list connect@edna.edu.au using their email address when they register. A welcome message will help provide information on how to participate. Once you have subscribed it's simply a matter of sending emails to the nominated list address. You will receive all the emails sent to that list by those who are subscribed to it. You can unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of the emails you receive.

The Connecting the Continent event will use the EdNA (Education Network Australia) hosted discussion list software.

The code is based upon the principles of limiting participants exposure to harmful or unsuitable materials and protecting the freedom of expression of all individuals in our society.
