You can use the Web Portal to work with your colleagues or other Portal members in a group setting as a virtual team, large or small, across time and space. Do not send unsolicited email to group or individual members.
The Web Portal was designed to share news, educational materials, resources, and other information. Members are encouraged to post such materials inside designated areas and associate each item with the appropriate tags so that it will flow into correct folders and collections which others can easily search for and locate.
What Membership Implies:
You will take time to learn the Portal Tools that facilitate Portal use including accessing, posting, storing, and sharing content.
You will share your expertise, social and professional networks, when appropriate, by joining a Portal Workgroup which is a virtual presence for your group, team or Community of Practice.
