Main features of the New HSC Discussion Board

Discussions
Upon entering the Discussion Board you will see the available discussion subjects listed. These discussions may also be referred to as "conferences". Under each discussion title there is a number of topics. You may choose to read or respond to messages under these topics or add a new topic. You can post messages at any time of the day and a help facility is available from the menu bar in the Discussion Board area.

Email Notify
This allows you to be notified of new messages posted onto the Discussion Board. You can select this from the menu in the Discussion Board and follow the steps to subscribe. Email Notify helps you keep track of activity in discussions that are of particular interest to you.

Mailing Lists
This allows you to participate in a discussion without being logged in to the Discussion Board. You will be sent an email version of the message posted and you will be able to reply directly without logging on to the Discussion Board.

Chat sessions
Chat sessions are scheduled times when a group of people may log on to the Web Board and engage in a particular discussion. At these scheduled times an informed person in the subject area will be online to provide expert responses and assistance. The duration of each session will depend on the number of users participating. Dates and times of chat sessions will be displayed on the Calendar, What’s New and the Discussion Board.
